I specifically said I didn't think it was the most important factor, but one that a lot of people seem to be overlooking in their hate-fests against Bush and Kerry.

I understand that you do not believe it is a
major role in deciding who they will vote for. But, I believe if it is even considered to be a factor, that in itself is a huge problem. I vote based on how I feel a candidate will further take this country into a prosperous future. I couldn't care less if they are dull or charismatic. I rather have a boring GOOD president than an exciting BAD president.
As for my post earlier labeling Bush followers as racist hillbillies, I would like to further elaborate on why I said that before I get flamed. I base that judgment on personal experience. Every Bush supporter I have had the displeasure to come across has come off as an angry racist. Just recently in college, there was a dispute about who would make a better president presented itself in class, and I asked one of the supporters why they think Bush is the man for the job. Exact reply was "because we need to show those mother fuckers who is boss." Aside from that specific individual, I have also heard "we should just nuke all those ragheads." But the independent as well as democrat supporters seem to be of a much more peaceful nature. I normally do not like to make generalizations, but from experience, be it from school, work, or for that matter the internet, this is the conclusion I have come to make.
