Most likely Kerry, as he and Bush are the only choices with
any real hope of election this year. I'm sorry, but nothing
George Bush has done in the past four years has convinced
me that he is competent to hold the office.

I don't KNOW that Kerry will do any better, but I am at
the point where I am fairly well convinced that he cannot
possibly do worse. Bush's stands on certain issues such
a *** marriage (how again is it that the party which
SUPPOSEDLY is in favor of increased states' rights wants
to pass an amendment to the NATIONAL constitution
regarding marriage?) and his overall handling of science
policy (the stem cell research issue being just one example)
alone would justify this; add in the poorest job of foreign
policy leadership in the past forty years, and highly
questionable handling of the economy, and that pretty much
seals the deal for me.

As implied before, there are people in BOTH parties I would
be more likely to actively support that either Bush or
Kerry - John McCain comes to mind, for one - but given the
choices available, I'll take Kerry, thank you very much.
