In this thread, I'd like to hear why you're voting the way you are, or why you hold the political views you do. Here's the catch...
NO BASHING or PESSIMISM about the other guy! Only write about what your political affiliation is doing right. No flaming!
i'm guessing this'll last about five posts before it degenerates into pm and bhs *****ing, but I thought I'd give it a try. Sometimes I think people know more about what the opposition is doing wrong than about what their party is doing right.

My first, and probably only, foray into the morass going on in these political threads. Figured I'd jump in while it was still early, before it becomes a "my intellect is bigger than yours and you're a stupid-head" war:
I'm voting Kerry because I am a horrible, stupid (or worse... ignorant), stinking, well-educated, intelligent, clean-shaven liberal/independent. That should about sum up what the likely responses to anything I could possibly say are.
There... no bashing or pessimism about the other guy. :) Feel free to think of me what you will for not saying more. I could do a more complete, well-reasoned post outlining all my reasons, but, honestly... would it really matter, since I've no intention of changing my vote?
well i'm voting for kerry because i too am a liberal. I always have been always will be. Even if i was moderate I'd vote kerry because he doesn't support the contituional ban on *** marriage.
Well technically there hasn't been a chance for the Dems to do right since the congressional elections :)
Domestic - Its a sorta strange view. First off I like individual rights and think the government should protect them. The government should also provide security for its citizens, and I think that health care is part of that security thing. Markets should be competitive to drive innovation, however monopolies are evil. Oh and I like the whole balanced-budget thing.
Foreign Policy - Hrm what's it called? Liberal institutionalist I think. So I like things like the UN and stuff, even though I think the UN could be improved at least its something rather than nothing.
I'm still thinking we should have a co-president system. One for domestic control and one for foreign policy. Presidents somtimes focus on one area and neglect another.
In conclusion, it depends on how tired I am if I vote for Kerry.
Economic Left/Right: -1.62 (Slight Left-sided)
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.13 (Libertarian)
Which pretty much sums up what I always say about myself: I'm a fiscal moderate with almost ultra-"liberal" social views. No surprises, really. The slight left lean on economics probably stems from the fact that I place more emphasis on the environment over business, but get dragged back to center because I have an evolutionary view of business competition which resonates with the view that trust-busting is bad, but for very different reasons.
Economic Left/Right: -4.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.23
see, i'm not some whacko leftist, i'm actually very close to the spot in the map that Ghandi is, just one notch more right.
it's very scary to see where G.W. stands though, he's in that top-right area, which is a horrible thing as i don't think it resembles what the majority of America is.
Me I am neutral. Both this men have been in postions of power and control over peoples lives. I cast a no vote for both. Voting is to me a contractial agreement that it says "I give that person the right to make changes in my country and my life and agree 100% what that person does" From a human standpoint cant agree on neither canadate.

I'm assuming the +/- goes on a scale of 10? How can you arbitrarily post figures though.. ..
Before I post, could someone - perhaps Bhs or whomever, tell me what it means to have a -/+ in economic, as well as social? Just for the record, so I know what kind of language you guys are using.
