Anybody But Bush!

[doubletrouble_vb]

I've seen a number of posts challenging Kerry supporters to specify what Kerry will do better.

I'm happy to say I'm in the Anybody But Bush camp. Why you ask? How could she possibly have this stance? Seems ignorant and uninformed.

It's easy (it's so easy). A Democrat in the White House will lead to a Federal Government divided. It will do a very nice job of putting the branches of government at odds which is how I think it best functions.

It is my fond hope that the adverse relationship will put the brakes on the erosion of our freedoms. Also I believe one of Kerry's stances is the removal of government incentives for multi-nationals that ship their manufacturing/jobs overseas. Plus I'd rather see agribusiness in the oval office than the oil business (can you say $45 a barrel...who da thunk it when we invaded Iraq?).

ummm, as a Kerry supporter, I guess I'm glad you voting for him. But I cant' agree to "anyone but Bush".

I do believe that Kerry would be a better President, while also being a Democrat that believes in many of the issues I do. But there are a lot of people IN BOTH PARTIES that could very easily be worse than Bush.

I admire your guts in coming out and admitting you are for ABB and giving your reasons. It is regrettable that some posters thought it would be "cute" to leave the responses they did. You said nothing nasty or objectionable, and did not deserve to be treated so rudely.

Didn't senator Byrd from WV write a book on this topic basically? He effectively labeled the Bush admin as dangerous for our country. I'd like to read it. BSears have you heard of it?

Are all of you Clinton in disguise? LOL.

Minnie,

I saw Byrd last night on TV...he was quite interesting. I have not seen the book yet, but am looking forward to it. Byrd seemed to be particularly upset by a statement made by Bush that he was the commander and had to answer to no one. To Byrd that went against everything he believed in....that the government worked " for the people".

Since there is a chance the Senate can become a Democratic majority this upcoming election, that would also make a politically-divided government. So - therefore - is "anyone but Bush" still appropriate?

As to the other other comments, I don't feel my freedom has been eroded. Otherwise, I understand your view on the other two reasons you support Kerry. But I still don't think that constitutes as "anyone but Bush."

But I definitely appreciate hearing a Kerry supporter say something besides "Bush is an idiot."

I saw part of that too. He seemed to imply that the system somehow gave Bush too much authority when it came to making the decision to go to Iraq. I didn't see the whole thing. The last thing that I want to do on here is contribute to more high drama, but I just thought that his premise sounded really interesting. Maybe I'll check Barnes and Noble.

Actually, I agree with Sen. Byrd that President Bush does have to answer to a lot of people. I don't think the *system* gave President Bush too much authority though. I think the Congress gave President Bush too much authority. Sen. Byrd opposed the resolution, as I recall (could be wrong). I think he was right to oppose it. The President should not have the power to declare war. Congress ought not have the authority to cede that power to the President either.
