Alright, I have kinda stayed away from politics(I work for state government and usually don't want to discuss them after a workday) on this board but I just felt that I should put this on here. I am not trying to sway anyone to vote for Kerry nor am I trying to piss people off. I know that I am GOING to piss some people off with this thread and you can bash me if ya want but try to do it constructively...Mind you that I don't really endorse Kerry either I just think he might do better than Bush has done in his 4 years..Oh yeah i am not a tree hugger nor am I french or bleeding heart liberal just someone that see's something truly fucked up about the current President and his administration.
