michael moore and new shirts
michael moore's visit went pretty well. i was worried that people would boo and yell so much that nobody would be able to hear him. it was pretty much what i expected. anti-bush. anti-war. only pro-kerry because that meant no bush. he was pretty funny and poked fun at republicans through sarcasm, but didn't pick them out in the crowd to rip on (as hannity did).
i'm still leaning on voting for bush, but i'm not as positive anymore. i've always felt that kerry would have gone to war had he been in the same seat and is only fighting it now that it's his ticket to the whitehouse, but my conception of this has come from the republican right. there are many other issues in this election as well, and those are where i tend to agree with bush.
the more i've thought about this war, the bigger of an issue this election has become for me. if my thoughts on kerry are wrong, perhaps i need to view these other issues as well and perhaps my vote will need to swing.
i'm already voting for for the mathesons and against amendment 3. perhaps another democrat is the way to go.
i think kerry may have a point though. perhaps the best way to help out iraq is to get bush out. the war was wrong. iraqis don't want to deal with bush. most of the international community does not want to work with bush. many soldiers don't want to work for bush.
ReplyDeleteousting bush may be the only way to get iraq back on it's feet. the united states can't do it alone.
think of bush as the van hale-gary crowton combo. if you want to improve byu football(iraq), you get rid of crowton(bush). if you want international help (norm chow), you get rid of van hale (bush again).
as far as the war in iraq goes, kerry gets my vote. as far as other issues go... i really need to look into that for the next couple weeks
