good god, people who think Bush is terrible still may support him

I am sorry if I offend anyone but are guns that important? I'd be willing to give up my right to own a submachine gun if it meant I and others ilke me could go to college easier, wouldn't have to fight unjust wars, would be able to have an environment to be proud of, to have a government that cherishes the bill of rights and that doesnt take a crap on them. I just cant believe anyone who survived the great depression and worshipped the great FDR could even consider supporting Bush, Kerry is no FDR granted but he will do stuff for these people. Sorry end of rant.

1. this is always

the case for an unpopular president at this point of the race. Look back at 1980. No one liked Carter, yet he was ahead in the polls. We all know how that turned out.

4. I just hate it when they say while Bush you know hes a man of faith

Well you know what so is Kerry!, he's not a judgemental christian who likes to throw it on you but he's a proud Catholic and his faith is real not politicized.

5. In my opinion, I think a lot of repubs

are not happy at all with him. But what they are happy with is having power. They have it and are willing to do whatever it takes to keep it. Nothing else matters. Nothing.

9. I have not mentioned this before..but glad to have you back!

I missed you for months during the summer. I am glad you are back and feisty as ever.

I agree, however, that some people think that owning a machine gun is more important than having the right to vote?? DUH???????
