My opinion... maybe a lil ramble...

Besides, any man that believes that abortion is "a woman's right to choose" does not deserve to be the leader of the Free World. The Democratic party is so quick to call it "a woman's right", when in reality it needs to be stated plainly as baby killing. Dress it up however you like... it will always be exactly that: murder.
The war and everything else aside... abortion is the deciding factor on how I vote! Say what you like about Prez Bush, but he is a God-fearing man and it is hard to find that kind of man in the world we live in.
First of all ...lets talk about the Free World...wtf is it? Is it from the American perspective? What is it? I don't really have a comprehensive definiton for it and I dont want someone to be a jackass and look up the words in the dictionary and explain what they mean individually...i know their individual definitions and connotations, BUT as a unit I am not totally sure what it means.. does it mean the rich world versus the third world? what?
And by the way, why should he not be able to lead the Free World? His wouldbe predecessor believed in
"retard killing" or what "... it will always be ...
murder."
Hmm... a "woman's right to choose" is the democrats war cry on this issue ... the republicans have one too... its "right to life"
1).... you cant hate on any of the politicians for doing what they are supposed to be doing in their respective clans .. thats their "game"... they have to say certain things and act a certain way ... its theatrics.... just like a lot of life for most everyone. Its so much about the face you envoke in our society.
2) i personally see the abortion issue not as a woman's right to choose , but as the religious right not having the "right" to enforce their view on the entire society... its all semantics as to when life begins and has nothing to do with a woman's body...thats sounds more like a cop out to me for the female (and the male)... ... i dont believe in abortions, but im not gonna make people take my stance...
3) i hate the hipocrisy ... "right to life" ... wtf ... i dont wanna kill a baby or a baby before it becomes a baby or an inutero fetus ... or yada yada... I mean... I've heard it said that abortion can be terminating something that has the potential for life....think of how many of those harmless lil sperm you kill when ya shoot... spermicide.... and damn..those women killing those eggs (of course im exaggerating) fucking menstration... ... ...well.. i wandered to the side of the topic..but.. .. to get back to the "right to life" .... so... an unborn baby cant be killed...but somehow capital punishment is a good thing...or you can go to war and kill people...and its honorable...(i hope that whomever wrote this quote above would be a "Conscientious Objector")...
ALL life should be as sacred as other life!... you cant weed out bad life from good life.
Hmm...that God fearing thing always gets me... Why should FEAR be the motivation of an individual..this nation is run on fear......Besides that... more life has been decimated and ravaged in the name of God than any reason other reason in history... How many crusades have there been (including our presidents current one apparently)?
Some could even make the argument that Osama and the rest of the Muslim terrorists/fundamentalists are some of the most devout people in the world...I mean... they believe they are doing God's work in a sense. They are fighting against injustices that have been done upon them and their families and their people and their religion and their beliefs. Its a Holy War. (Hmm...sounds familiar...hmm...what place in the world today has a real good chance of being a terrorist breeeding ground...i wonder..hmm...it just slips my mind.)We had our own terrorists too back in the inception of our country (Sons of Liberty, for example)... Perhaps this is a Terrorist Revolution against what they see as an attack on their "way of life" and how they believe life should be lived.
Oh yeah...and please don't spout this BS about how God fearing men are hard to find. That just isnt true. (Why is it that Churches don't pay taxes? .. esp. if they want to tell there paritioners that it is a sin to vote for someone that believes in abortion and meddle in political afairs..anyway...) Why is that the best quality that a person can have? Why can a president allude to God choosing him for the office? Why do most successful political figures (in America) have to show how religious they are to be considered viable candidates for any office if God isnt so present in our political system and our society?
Why can't the best of qualities be treating others with respect and love not because its what God says but because its an innate human quality not based in fear of Gods Wrath? (i know someone is gonna say that God made us in his image yada yada...but... not everyone believes in God and yet somehow awesome people have found a way to bring out an innate goodness without envoking God or working for his glory... and are prolly going to hell cause they arent Christian.)
Why is the Bible considered so holy?
The Catholic Church crafted it initially together from tons of scripture, fitting together the stories that told the story they wanted to convey and not using parts that conflicted. Does anyone remember that money was the root of all evil from the bible(Jesus throwing the money lenders out of the temple, etc.) and yet in our capitalistic society it is worshipped as a source of power and wealth and being successful. Everyone in this country is working for this American dream. Somehow at the same time utopian ideals are looked down upon (ie. socialism and communism) which in their basis are essentially very good things: Everyone working not for the good of themselves and their individual wealth, but for the good of everyone as a whole, doing their part... but those ideals dont account for the greed of "(hu)man" and "(hu)man(ity's)" materialism. What does it say on the "Almighty" dollar?..."In God We Trust"....wtf is that about?
Does anyone remember Sodom and Gamora? All you people who have ever put a penis in a butt...even if it is a woman... u guys must be evil sinners that deserve to go to hell and you can go to jail in most states for it in this world and then have it done unto you has you have done unto others. I'm not gonna even start (REALLY) on the sanctity of marriage bullshit and the rising level of divorces and adultery/infidelity.
It seems as if we pick and choose what we see as evil from the bible. You shouldn't do something just cause you're taught that way. You should do something cause its what you know to be the right thing to do. That is why you have a thought process.
The learning is in the doing, not the being taught. Of course that ideal is rather utopian in itself as well, but hey..wishful thinking.

I didnt think that Kerry was that good of a choice initially. I used to be an "as long as it not Bush" voter. As this campaign has wore on I have changed that opinon. I guess I'm a flip flopper. I looked at the two candidates. And the more I looked the more I see a
Presidential John Kerry. George Bush has never looked like a President or talked like one. I seriously would love to have a thoughtful president, someone who conveys solidarity in their voice and their facial features and doesnt get flustered easily. Everyone who supports Bush gets so giddy over what he did after 9/11...what did he do that was so special? i didnt see anything that a number of other more qualified candidates could have done in his place..well..except they could have done what he had promised (and didnt deliver) and been a "uniter not a divider." How split is this fucking country when it should have become more cohesive after such a tragedy? Not to say that he hasnt done a few good things, but... on a whole I don't see him as a viable sitting president.
Lotsa people see Bush as "one of us." He's a "good ole boy", etc etc. Why should that be the marker of the leader of the "Free World." Why can't we have someone who is intellectual in office? Is it too much to set the bar of expectation for the President of the United States a little higher?
The President's Job is a thinking man's job. Of course this is my individual opinion.
Oh yeah...and could someone please tell me why "liberal" (open minded) is a BAD word and "conservative" (close minded) is so GOOD. I don't really see either of the two as totally good or bad. You have to mix the two points of view together, but i tend to be a lil more liberal (open minded).
That is ALL...(i know i made some grammatical errors...sorry)
