OK, I was supposed to deliver the following speech on the morning announcements on Friday. Unfortunately, the teleprompter was not working and I was being told to hurry and finish, so it came out an inarticulate mess. The following is the reason I can't support the current president ( Read more... )

I AM voting for Kerry --

However, I urge you to remember the Vietnam War before you say we are the most divided now.....even though you said arguably.... oh whatever. I personally think America was much more divided then.

i did take that into consideration. However, I felt that Vietnam was more of a very loud minority. In terms of radicalism and visible conflict, Vietnam definitely has this beat. But just mass, the amount of people opposed to what is going on, I think is bigger now.
It's close though. Hence, the arguably.

But even if it is only Vietnam, thats one time in 150 years... still mind-boggling.

I agree with Andrew, and would like to toss out the notion that it was more important for us to liberate the Iraqis than to worry about what the rest of the world thought. Not all of the French dislike Americans.

Was it really that important? Come on Marie, you're smart.

im still waiting to hear what kerry WILL do...and vietnam was much more divided. I think you forget the the fact that the nations opinions should include those of the middle america states and southern. We can forget this because we live in such a politically active and opinionated area..as does most of the coasts...but suprisingly there is still great amounts of support for bush or just neutralism across the country. I havent decided who im going to vote for. I think both candidates have hurt their odds by straying to far away from the independent line.

Im an independent...I cant really understand why people would classify themselves into teams.

I wish bill clinton could run again :(

Yeah well...great speech! Your very well spoken even on paper. Perhaps journalism should be considered in your future.

Miss you man. Hope school is going well.

Kerry hasn't made his specific plan entirely public yet because George Bush will steal it. Just like he's trying to steal his position on gay marriage now, and just like he did steal his health care plan and try and call it his own. Don't buy that "nobody knows where he stands" shit.
