Wasn't me!! Actually, my father is close friends with John Edwards...so my vote was swayed long before actual politics started to play a role. ~ Sir Robert

Bush is probably the most hated figure outside the United States in the West since Hitler: nearly everyone outside the USA dislikes him more or less, and this is clear due to his total ignorance of foreign affairs and disregard for his former friends. However, a lot of people, including myself, would like him to win so that it would dent the United States' superpower status (and with a planned budget deficit exceeding 3.2 trillion dollars in the next ten years, things aren't looking all too rosy). If I was an American, I would vote for either Kerry if things were getting really, really tight, or the Socialist Party.

You want him to win so the US looks bad? Wow, that is a very interesting point of view. That does make some sense though. Sadly, where I live, Bush came over to our small little town and now everyone thinks he is awesome.

Do you go to Lee's Summit High School? I heard he made a campaign stop there, and attendance was mandatory.

I go to Lee's Summit North High School which is the neighboring school.
The principals said that we could watch it on tv and all, but no one really did.

I'm a republican whose supporting the President. On September 30, I'll be attending a Young Democrats sponsored event, a party based on Kerry's and Bush's first televised debate. I doubt that the debate will change my mind about anything; rather I'll be listening to what the Democrats there think about their own candidate (who is currently seeming pretty lousy, to me, and to the polls).
Mind you I am truly an independent, and this event will be open to anyone. Some say Bush has an unfair advantage because of his trademark sound-bites, which are easy to chop into CNN or FoxNews short news segments. Kerry tends to ramble, but I agree that he does use quite a few multi-syllabled words.
Olorix, I didn't expect you to chime in supporting Socialists. I am against tax increases. However, nationalized industries do have an appeal to me. But just an appeal; I must find out if they really would help America compete with its future rivals: China, the EU, and Russia.

And yet I still can't figure out what motivates you Republicans.

Why? Fiscal conservatism, moral values, national security, and increasing our majority. There's a 9-year-old "whiz kid" on the GeorgeBush.com web-site taking questions about the presidents. It is frightening how lucidly he answers. The kid says he's running for president in 2032. www.georgewbush.com/Chat/Transcript.aspx?ID=38

Oh yes, and education. Bush proposes increases in spending for job training. He supported No Child Left Behind.
