Like I said on the post......I vote Republican because their platform most represents my view points.

I also care greatly about who will be chosing possibly three new Supreme Court judges. Who they are is just about as important as who President...based on the fact that they stay in that position until they retire. Lots of power there.

Also....I called the candidates lying. Truth is....it's just the way politics are. You are damned if you do and damned if you don't. I guess each man makes the call he has to.

For example: Have you seen the John Kerry commercial in which George Bush pledges to help Seniors on Medicare and "the very next day imposes a 17% premium increase - the biggest in history"?

That ad is a stroke of genius on Kerry's part and will surely gain him many votes among the uninformed. Do some homework on the issue. As it turns out the 17% increase was not imposed by President Bush but was mandated by the "balanced budget agreement" signed by President Clinton, voted into law by Senator John Kerry, and was scheduled to come into effect during the Bush administration!

President Bush had no authority to reverse what had been voted into law by Senator Kerry during the Clinton administration.

It's all about the SPIN!
