The amazing thing about Bush is that he's like rubber and Kerry's like glue… It amazed me that Bush's team was able to effectively make fun of Kerry's military record considering that Bush is basically a draft dodger that spent the war driving drunk around Texas while Kerry was out there actually saving people's lives and almost got himself killed in the process. How is it even possible for Bush to make fun of Kerry on that subject? It makes no sense at all.
Now the Republicans are making fun of his wealth (more). Now, Kerry is wealthy, and his wife is even wealthier, but come on — Bush and the Bush family are far, far richer. No offense, but the only conclusion I can come to is that the vast majority of Republican voters are stupid people. If anyone actually believed in voting for the common man, more of you would have agreed with me on Kucinich.
I really don't mean for that to come off badly, but look at Bush's policies. They really only differ from Kerry's on one very, very important factor. How money moves from the lower classes to the upper classes. That is after all the purpose of all modern politics — the embezzlement of money from the country's subjects to the country's rulers. Under Bush, it moves destructively fast, building up a giant deficit in the process, using wars to mask it, slashing civil rights to hide it, and so on. Kerry is still going to be a part of that process, but I believe far more slowly (I suspect Kerry would be the better slave owner).
In my opinion, unless are at least a millionaire (that's about 0.5% of the US population), it is fundamentally stupid and self-destructive to vote Republican these days. If you do have a million or more in assets, then Bush's tax policies and so on actually start to be worthwhile and I'd say “go ahead, vote for Bush” because it might be advantageous financially if you don't mind screwing over the lower and middle classes… Not that there'll be a middle class much longer.
Anyway, I just can't believe how many poor people are fooled into voting for the rich man's party. Of course, if you want to bring about the revolution, keep voting Bush because eventually the people will start to call for their heads when they realize what's been done to them…
