I'm with dracono here. there's quite a few of us that dont buy into Michael Moore's lies and dont make kissy-faces at Kerry. Granted, Bush has been a less than stellar president, but I'd take him over Kerry. (though not by much).

My reasons? Well for the vast majority of reasons, I support the democrat platform (not kerrry) on their social issues, however the stark fact of the matter is that I make good money and I dont like being taxed to pay for indigants, especially non-working ones! I believe in limited socialized healthcare, yet I dont want to be told which doctor to see, and that I cant pay for better treatment if I want it. I'm an atheist and support gay rights fully (Kinda hard for me not to ;) ), but I dont want to see America's social fabric getting *too* diverse, where it begins to unravel - variety is nice, but chaos is destructive. I also like my guns, chewing tobacco, and Capn' Morgans, and want to retain the freedom to destroy my own body if I please to do so, which is another problem I have with big-government democrats.

So yeah I'm not exactly in line with either party. but when it comes down to it, what's good for my pocketbook is more important to me than what's good for society. When I get 8 million in the bank I can go join Greenpeace or whatever. ;)
