My god don't bring up a mocumentary and expect me to make a political decision based on it! MM is a moron imo.

I haven't decided who to vote for yet. I'm more conservative that liberal by far, but it's not clear cut for me.

If I DO vote for him it is for two reasons.

1) I don't want to be at war ON THIS LEVEL forever! I was and still am for going to war against Al queda and Iraq. Bush may have been misled on some key issues that he used to help justify the war, but there were plenty of reason outside WMD that I see. I am glad Bush was not afraid to take the war to them instead of waiting for something to happen again and having to REACT again.

However, a war on terror will never ever end. I am all for governments working together to weed out terrorism. I would love to see something similar to the system seen in Tom Clancy's book Rainbow Six formed. A cooporative task force to fight terrorism. But I have no desire to see America drained of lives and resources ON THIS LEVEL to take on Iran, China, Cuba and all the other Countries that have terrorist ties.

2) Abortion. I am VERY against abortion as a method of birth control and I think pretty damn low of mothers that choose to abort because they are lazy and wouldn't use birth control.

However, my mother and girlfriend work in hospitals and are both very much against laws against abortions. The problem with regulating abortions is that it can't be done well.

Children that are raped (by fathers for example) are often afraid to come forward and without the option of abortion would either be forced to carry their attackers child or they will often seek out alternative methods of aborting such as coat hangers and other dangerous and often fatal methods. Outlawing abortion all together causes more deaths. Deaths of mothers.

However, I don't trust the Johns on national security or the economy for starters. Gonna be a tough choice.
