Thanks for the response Wolf. I appreciate your thoughts even if I dont share your view or specific priorities.
I'm listening to all the broadcast rhetoric, getting antsy about the polarization. I dont want us to lose all common ground no matter who ends up with this presidency.
I see that you, like me, dont want government setting limits on your freedom, want to live with some security and you do not want to be mislead or fooled.

As much as you distrust Kerry, I dont trust Bush based on his misstatements and actions. I dont believe that he has done a good job as commander. National security is my #1 issue. Kerry has convinced me that he will be strong and vigilant, open to learning new information and able to repond wisely. I believe that the situation in Iraq has proven more complex than the Bush team can handle philosophically, theoretically or practically.

other reasons:
Separation of church and state (basic personal freedom- which encompasses pro choice and pro gay rights)
Embraces Science (emcompases stemcell, environmental, and economic issues)
Will not privatize Social security (further dividing the rich from the poor)
Will deal with the healthcare crisis by covering kids under 18 (pay now or really pay later)
Will better fund education (investing)
