This entire thread has been very mature and uplifting. I'm particularly impressed with SATS introduction and his defense of his opinions. Good calls all around.
This is going to be my first presidential election, and many of my ideals swing close to yours. I'm voting for Kerry primarily because of Bush's attitude towards civil liberties; examples such as the amendment to ban gay marriage and unwavering support for the Patriot Act in its current form show that he really doesn't respect the rights of individuals. My first priority is civil rights, and I feel Kerry does a better job respecting this issue.
Honestly I may vote for the Libertarian party this year because I live in Maryland, which pretty much always votes democrat. I feel it's important that I show support for the party that I mostly agree with, even if strategically I feel my vote would be better used elsewhere.
Wait for the debates. That's when you'll be able to get a real sense of your candidates.
