What do you do Nov 3rd?

Was it Kerry specifically, or just congressional democrats? All the sponsors of the bill had "D" next to their names ... and all but one of the sponsors voted AGAINST their own bill.

The House voted 402-2 to defeat the draft bill offered last year by U.S. Representative Charles Rangel, a New York Democrat. Kerry did NOT sponsor the bill and has stated specifically that he would not re-instate the draft.

Continue life, yes. Accept if Bush wins...hell no.

--Will you spend endless amounts of energy trying to convince people why the person in office shouldn't really be there?

Nah.

-- Will you look for every opportunity to bad mouth and tear to shreds the man in the office?

Pshctttt but OF COURSE!

-- Or will you simply shrug your shoulders and take solace in the fact that you are comfortable, yet disgusted, that it doesn't really matter who is in power because none of them really care about people like us anyway?

Hmm...I could possibly do that too.

To be totally honest, I will probably bad-mouth whomever is in office Nov. 3rd (or, more likely, Dec. 12th. Or, even more likely, Jan. 6th). I will vote for Kerry and as many Pennsylvania Dems as it is within my power to vote for, but I am a liberal in the simplest sense of the term. I think America can be made better, and that changes must be made in order to do so. No one candidate can ever go far enough to satisfy me, because a man of my politics is inherently unelectable. I believe in an evolutionary government, change for the sake of change. Make the change, and if its good, keep it. If it sucks ass, be rid of it. If things are a good idea, like social welfare systems, keep them around but make them work. If things are a bad idea (like offshore tax loopholes), cut the crap and toss them out. Make the bad good, and the good better, and if something doesn't directly improve the life of J. Random Citizen, toss it (and I mean *directly. A rising tide does, indeed, lift all boats, but lifting a few boats doesn't raise the tide). Essentially, what I'm saying is that I will vote for Kerry because I believe he'll make things better, but I reserve the right to point out where he's fucking up if he does get into office.
