I think blindly following the fucktard currently at the helm of this country is a mistake- and I see a lot of that. I am honestly shocked by some people's total infatuation with him. I am in complete confusion as to how anyone could think Bush's reign has had any positive effects on this country.

I have come to the conclusion that I do not want a President who runs the country by what he thinks is God's will, despite my religious beliefs. I do not want a president whose ass is occupied by the puppeteer hand of the country's "vocal minority" fundies, when it's not being licked clean by corporations. I do not want a president who caters to special interest groups to the point where a shift in their thought causes him to make different decisions for the entire country as a whole.

There is NO REASON the legal binding and association of two people, regardless of sex, is still not legal.
There is NO REASON why stem cell research, which could very well cure some of the most long-standing incurable diseases and end suffering and death, is still not legal. The restrictions he's placed on their use are laughable at best from a scientific viewpoint.
There is NO REASON why our schools continue to lose money, why they cannot properly train and educate young people due to a lack of budget. Education is key to our collective future.

This is the year 2004, people. I thought by now we'd be past petty bullshit and be able to coexist without trying to force our own will onto other people. There is no way that Bush can move this country in a positive direction from here- he will only take us backwards, put us more in debt, and turn the entire world against us. I voted the asshole in, and now I will cast my vote to see him out. If he wins for another 4 years, i'm placing bets on him causing WWIII... not as an "if", but as a "when".

This is why I have come to the conclusion that on election day, I will be selecting "anyone but Bush" as the next President.
