Don't equivocate, what is your perspective on the election?:) This feels like the mandatory 100-word essay required in high school: Why I'm Voting for GW Bush..by A.Corrigan Primary reason I find GW Bush the best candidate, is because he has already demonstrated his leadership mettle when under severe stress. I, like many other Americans, have had concerns re jobs outsourcing, flood of illegal immigration and the War in Iraq. IMO, in order to find solutions for all 3, we must first contain international terrorism. Under Pres Bush as Commander in Chief, our courageous military has already made great strides in weakening al Qaeda & demonstrating to the world that the USA stands firms on it's commitments. Iraq will shortly have full sovereignty and the people of Afghanistan are enjoying more freedom than they've had for generations. Once the seeds of freedom that have already been sown start to grow & spread throughout the Mid-east, the world will be safer for not only Americans but for all it's inhabitants. John Kerry does not impress me as a strong leader or a person who would have the political courage to stay the course in the War on Terror. His senate voting record demonstrated a habitual straddle of every issue. That type of U.S. President would not provide clear-cut moral direction for the nation or the world in general; therefore, I'll be voting for Pres George W Bush this Nov.

People support a candidate for many reasons. One could write a book about it.

A reasonable opinion. Thanks for having the guts to state your opinion. Why do people support a candidate? It all depends on their experience and perspective. My perspective is that hard work pays off - and lack of such should not. My perspective is that people trying to provide the materials and energy that the country needs are portrayed as evil by the left. My perspective is that the left does not give a crap about solutions - only issues. My perspective is that less government is better than more government. My perspective is that neither party has the guts to speak the cold hard truth about issues - eg energy, illegal immigration, social security etc. My perspective is that the left can say anything stupid they want and get favorable treatment from the media. My cheer is that despite the ability of the left to lie without media criticism - the people elect representatives of the right. My perspective is that while both sides are imperfect - the left is looney and supports non producers while the right supports producers! The people are smarter than most give them credit!
