The Presidential Election

People have asked me who was planning to vote for on November 2nd, 2004. I honestly won't know what I'm going to do until I get in there. On the one hand, I'm totally against the war in Iraq. I was against it before we went in there, and I am even more against it now. Why didn't we go after Saudi Arabia? After all, 16 of the 19 hijackers came from there. Moreover, the monsters who beheaded Paul Johnson were from there.

I'll tell you why we didn't go after Saudi Arabia: Because that's where the money is. The Bush family and Vice President Cheney were not about to bite the hand that feeds them. That's why we let members of the Bin Laden family fly back to Saudi Arabia without asking them any questions.

Moreover, why aren't we doing anything about the horrible genocide going on in Sudan? I'll tell you why: Because that's where the money isn't! Another reason why is because they're black, and this administration doesn't care two bits about black people.

Having said all that, if John Kerry is elected President, a number of things could happen to this country that would be unsettling. First of all, Kerry would appoint left wing judges who are committed to unbridled and untethered stem cell research, abortion rights, and liberal interpretations of the constitution. I am also concerned that when given the chance, Kerry refused to rule out bringing back the draft. As you may have heard, HR number 163 was introduced by six liberal democrats in the House of Representatives, in the hope that a mandatory two year selective services could be instituted for people ages 18-26 by June 15th. 2005. The President is on record that he would veto this piece of legislation as well as the similar bill in the Senate. As far as I know, Kerry is not committed to vetoing these bills. In fact, he has repeatedly stressed that the President has overextended the armed forces and that something needs to be done.

Having said all that, just from watching the three debates, I came away with the impression that Kerry was the more intelligent man and the one best prepared to be the leader of the free world. I also hold it against Bush that 911 happened on his watch. I guess as of today, I am leaning slightly toward Kerry. But ask me again on November 2nd ....

The only thing I know for sure is that on November 2nd, I am buying pizza for all the ladies who will be manning the polls in my town. I went in there last month to vote in the Wisconsin Republican primary, and one of the ladies said to me, "How come you didn't bring us pizza like last year?" So I guess that's what I'll do ....
