I am voting today because I am pro life, I am a christian, and I think that my children should be able to respect the person that sits in the white house and leads our country. I am voting for the man that will keep me safer as an American. I am voting because because I am proud to be an American. I am white, upper middle class, and stand to lose money if the current president leaves office. I am against the death penalty, and as such, I think that it is not only honorable, but it is imperative that go to war for the right reasons. I believe that the direction of medical research in this country should be in the hands of people educated in medicine, sciences, and ethics and not determined by the president. I believe that everyone makes mistakes, and it is immoral to suggest that it is more important to be eternally "steadfast" than to reassess situations as new information comes to light. I am voting so that I can become safe from terrorism in my own country and abroad, and the journalists and contractors and military personnel I see on T.V. can become safer conducting their jobs. As a practicing christian, I want the government to stay out of my religious affairs, my Pledge, and to not endorse me or my neighbor who may not believe the same things I do.
I am voting for respect, for me and for my country. Agree with me or not, but get out and vote today.
Posted by anonymous at November 2, 2004 3:04 AM | TrackBackYou are proud to be American. That's just fine. But in your next sentence you point out that you stand to lose money if the administration was to change. All points beyond this are lost after that statement. All you really care about is yourself. You call yourself a Christian, yet you condone putting a murderer in the White House who started a war to control Iraq's oil (the real reason). Line your pockets with the only God you really worship, the U.S. greenback. You make me sick.

You say you:
1) are pro-life
2) stand to lose money if Dubya leaves office ( I doubt that, but I don't know your exact situation, so will let it sit)
Yet you also said:
1) You want a president that is respectable.
2) You are against the death penalty
3) Believe that science should be in the hands of (ethical) scientists
4) agree that Bush's thickheadedness is a bad trait in a person
5) that you are voting to be safe from terrorism both here an abroad
6) believe in the sepearation of church and state, and realize that it is not just for the government to have a double standard on religion depending on the beliefs being endorsed.
So? Who did you vote for? I would imagine, like 51% of America, you chose the guy that fed you a line, despite logic telling you to vote otherwise.
