I have a question to all members here in our great forum which are US-Americans: do you really think you should elect GWB again? What has he done to you that was so great to deserve this title one more time? I`m from Austria and would be very interested in intelligent american peoples thinking ! Being a great fan from USA ( have been there 7x )and looking forward to go there again very soon I have to explain that I love the AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE!

Niether canidate has done anything to deserve the position of president. Thats the problem! Thier just the 2 most likely to get elected, the most popular, not the most deserving and definitely not the best men for the position. So until we can put 2 men up for election that deserve the post and not just the 2 with the most recognition, why worry about it? Either one is as good as the other and thats sad. I would say Bush simply becuase his party hasnt totaly disgusted me as much as Kerry's has lately. I cant stand hippocrites and the Democrats have set themselves up to be the biggest ones in the world right now. Maybe even in history!

I'm definitely not going to vote for Bush. I've seen what he's done to this country, and I couldn't get myself to do it. I'm probably not voting for Kerry either. He'd do better than Bush, but why vote for someone who you don't think will do a good job? This country is fucked either way.

As far as our choices for president I couldnt agree more.
I only said Bush in the case I had to pick one of the two. I cant stand either one of them.
The thing that gets me about the Democrats though is how for eight LONG years we had a draft dodger sitting in the white house and all they ever said was that this didnt matter and that war service wasnt required and a war record doesnt make a good president. Now all we hear from them is how Kerry's war service makes him qualified. Good God! You damn HIPPOCRITES! This alone doesnt suprise me or make me ill, the fact that we let them get away with this after hearing the complete opposite for eight years is what makes me ill. Eight years! If this doesnt prove to the American people that they are just going to say whatever they have to too get elected nothing will. Eight years! This isnt a case of a politician saying something once then changing his mind this was eight years!

War is just made to make rich man more rich! Why do you really think GWB+friends sent your brothers and sisters to Afganistan? I`m very sorry for you US-people that you dont have more election choices! I know this problem quite well because in my country we had presidential elections in february, and this two persons I didnt like in either way(Mrs.Ferero-Waldner/Mr.Fischer). But Austria is very, very small and it doesnt matter who it is know because we have nothing to say in world politics and the bigger EU-members like Germany, France, etc. are giving a big s.... on our country, we austrians just have to pay our fee! In your case it can be very dangerous and of course its still is! So what I want say is just, and dont take me wrong : the world should be saver without GWB and his "friend" because they have real might in their hands and cant handle it as you can see ! (Its just my opinion !) Maybe you guys will think : why to hell are you careing about our politics, you dont know about anything! And in some points you are absolutley right! When I saw the "Hurrican Frances"- destruction pics from Florida it hurts me very much because I love this state. I saw similar pics of absoltley destruction in another place! See what I want to explain? Bush should have a closer look to your beautiful sunshine state right now! I mean I have absolutley respect of american peoples thinking but ...? You have lost so many soldiers ! And believe me, the people from Iraq are full of hate about USA. Most of them will never see you as heros who free them from whatever! Please dont misunderstand me! In this time terrorists couldnt have a better US-president! And this point should be over as soon as possible!

I know, this country is a great place to live, but other countries don't like this country. Eventually, I think that'll come to hurt us all, no matter who is president. The stuff going on in Iraq is pretty much at the point where it's impossible to solve, without another 1000 soldiers dying. I don't think Kerry can solve it, or has the guts to, and I think Bush will solve it by killing 100 more soldiers and many more Iraqi civilians, and by the time we're done, we'll have lost a ton of our allies' support for anything.
I maybe a bit pesamistic there, but I don't think the crisis we're in is anywhere near finishing. I might pass voting this election. None of the candidates really look fit for president.

As long as this country is in the position that we are in they will always hate us. Were on top. Every one always hates the one on top when thier not. Its just like when your a raiders fan and the steelers win the super bowl, you hate them.

True, but other countries hate us that much more, since we've destroyed a country, and haven't repaired it yet. Especially Iraq.

Just one thing in a long list of things this country has done. If this was the only bad thing our country has ever done I think everyone would forgive us. The fact is they can go fly a kite. No other country given our power would show the restraint that we do. Every other country who had power that resembled ours in history has tried to take over the world. From britain to france to germany to rome. So let them shut up and fly kites.

I know that, but I rather not stay locked up here and never go to a foreign country without facing danger. If the situation gets worse, this could be the case. Unfortunately, there isn't much to do about it. The Republicans chose an idiot, and the Democrats failed to find a better candidate. I might stay home this November.

quote:Men and women of our armed forces...deployed 1/2 way around the world...fighting and dying...to liberate a people and to give them the vote...
Oh please! They are fighting and dieing because thats what they are paid to do. Every one wants to join the military to get a pay check, free college, room and board, and techinical training but no one expects them to fight? Thats what thier paid to do! A soldier has no stake in what he is fighting for it is his job to do what he is told. If they get credit for fighting a good cause you also have to give them the credit for the bad causes they killed for. Soldiers dont want credit for what they are doing and if they do thier not true soldiers. A true soldier does his duty to his commander thats his job. if a soldier fights to liberate a country and you say "oh he fought to liberate a country" when he is sent to do something else and it turns out to be wrong you have to blame him for it. You cant do one with out the other. So instead you should say he is a soldier he did his duty no matter what it was and I am glad I live in a country surrounded by people who are willing to die for this country so I dont have to. People shouldnt hold soldiers responsible for the decisions thier commanders make. Look how they were treated coming back from vietnam that was B.S. but this happens when you assign credit or blame to them. If the people back then had said "thier soldiers they do what thier told" they would have spit on the politicians not the soldiers.
And please dont ever forget that our millitary is totaly volunteer no one is over there that didnt want to be a soldier. Unlike vietnam.
