5 Reasons to Vote for Kerry:
- will presumably bring more multilatteral alliances
- an affinity for the French
- the environment will thank you (but he owns several SUVs for some reason)
- higher taxes for everyone (his rhetoric says he won’t, but his voting history says he will)
- a vote for Kerry is a vote for Heinz Ketchup Supremacy!
5 Reasons to Vote for Bush:
- lower taxes (promised and delivered)
- an already existant multinational coalition in Iraq
- Saddam Hussein is not a threat
- the economy is recovering well from the late-Clinton-era decline
- Pro-Life
That’s all I’ve got. I’d come up with a more spelled-out list of reasons you might want to vote for each candidate, but there’s no time at this point and by now you’ve already seen and heard most of the same issues debated repetetively for months. One thing that frustrated me immensely is how political partisans stuck to the main points and never spelled out the real benefits, moral, or ethical reasons their positions are the right ones. Alas, I will have to live without. I’ve already come to my own conclusions about most of the issues.
Tomorrow, it’s your turn to decide.
Tuesday night and following, the lawyers will decide. This is modern American politics, and, unfortunately, I don’t expect it to change anytime soon.
