While I am Pro-Kerry, I am also anti-Bush. Often, when you have few options and you have strong, even philisophical differences with a politician, you must vote for the opponent, even if that person is not your ideal. For many, myself included, it is not Bush's Iraq policy or even fiscal policy that drives their fever to remove him from office. Many are cocerned about his tragically short-sighted environmental policies, the possibility of his appointing a Supreme Court justice, his limiting of stem-cell research and many other issues. While the individual is important, the direction which the individual would like to see our nation move is just as important. So those who may not be incredibly excited about Kerry but who are fed up or down right opposed to Bush have little other choice, and I would never fault them for that.
