Well, Kerry being from Massachussets, and the Red Sox being the team from Boston Massachussets, does that mean Kerry will win, since the Red Sox won ?

TGG, did you mean a football team?

If so, it's Washington D.C. Redskins.

This is on the very same thread.

So pregnant raped girls have no right in doing abortions in America?
So they do it in a bad, uncontrolled, illegal way or have to spend heaps of money to go to another country?

Well I'm not for abortion either but that is the one arguement that I do agree with.  If there can be solution to that problem and still have abortions be illegal, I'd be happy.  I'm more against late term abortions, like when the baby is about 4 months or older.

Of course not, that wasn't what I meant. What I meant was that a very vast majority of Americans don't know _exactly_ what is going on. They see the war-pics on TV, tanks rolling by, some pics of protesting people maybe, some shooting, ... but they don't see the bodies of the soldiers who die each day (and not only American soldiers).

Yeah it is sad that most americans don't know what is going on in Iraq.  I know alot about what is going on in there, since my cousin is stationed in Iraq right now and I talk with him twice a week.  From what he tells me there is alot of good going on in there, sadly the news stations wont show it, they are only bent on showing the bad stuff, like death, bombings, ext...

I really wouldn't vote for John Kerry, he seems really up himself because he thinks that he's correct all the time and that he has three purple hearts(rofl), IMO, George Bush has done a good job, as said earlier, no other presidents for a while have had to go through all the trouble that he has in the past 4 years. He's gone through so many problems like 9/11, Iraq, Saddam Hussein and the Alquaeda! He's handled it amazingly well, people put him down to much, and its just harsh, maybe he isn't the smartest guy in the world, but i'd like to see some of you to try and control a lot of stuff without firing a nuke at all.

You're right on the 9/11 part, no doubt that's an dissatisfying way of starting off your presidency.  However wouldn't you agree that the whole Iraq and Saddam Hussein thing was in a sense self inflicted by Bush? I don't see what Saddam Hussein had to do with anything. I just think Bush needed someone - anyone - to point his finger at, and apparently Iraq became the target. Maybe this will help back up my statement: Schoolyard Politics

U meant the Redskins (american football team). and they lost, so the challenger (Kerry) will wine, so they say.

1 more thing about the sports teams: Everytime a the Red Sox have won the World series in an election year, Wodrow Wilson has won the election. So my prediction: Wodrow wilson in a landslide

BUSH!!!i won't discuss this matter...if anyone remembers my "what's the meaning of the world" thread(oh man that one did hurt ) knows that i'm 99% pro Bush/America...Oh and 1% Santana(the democrat in power)/Portugal

Sorry there are things that i don't understand, "george bush had done a good job" . I ask: where is this good job?

He had invaded afganistan because he said that he would capture Bin Laden, but he didn't find him, in fact we now know that he had bussines with the familiy Bin laden and this lokks a little suspicious.

He had invaded Irak because he said that irak and Sadam Husein had massive weapons, but nobody found this massive weapons, we only now that the US has the majority of the massive weapons.

The situation in Middle East is worst than in the last decades

The jobs in the US are  decreasing, the money for the education has been cut

The civil liberties has been cut.


For me this is enough for no vote bush, kerry is at the moment the only option for a safer world, for a world without the worst terrorist (bush)

I don't think that war(s) becomes a valid argument to show who the better candidate is, knowing that Kerry was actually supporting the war itself

I know the fact that Kerry voted yes on going to the war.
But I forgot when I read it and now I'm too lazy to search for it

It is very normal that he opposes the war, because he wants to be the president. He (and his party) will do anything to win the election.

So... let's just stop talking about war

That's why I don't like Kerry who keeps changing his mind. Moreover, his stands are not clear. For instance, he is said to be supporting gay marriage, but in the last presidential debate, he said that marriage was between man and woman. I laughed when I was watching the debate tbh.

Another example... Kerry is said to be religious, yet he supports abortion.

Well, I'm sorry I have never yelled with this phrase before, but wtf?!
A less strict guy would never be able to lead a country like the U.S.
