I'm sitting here straddling the fence, looking for some excuse to vote for John Kerry and i just can't. I used to be a pretty big Bush supporter, but lately he is just pissing me off a little more as every day goes by. Here are a few of my concerns that i've seen Bush oppose but i can find NO opinion from John Kerry.
I'm going to focus in on the micro level concerns, not Education, Abortion, gay rights, & Iraq, the only concerns it seems the U.S. has these days.
1. Mass transportation. I've read recently that Bush would veto ANY and all tax increase in gas to fund road improvements or mass transportation. I would definatly agree with the vote to veto road improvements, but mass transportation? Amtrak needs some serious investment.
2. Smart Growth, i've never heard either candidate mention these words.
3. Hope VI. Bush wants to cut this program all together, i've yet to hear Kerry attack Bush on this, or mention he'd increase funding or just keep the damn program up and running period.
4. Social Security. Ummm, it is still going to go in the tank if someone doesn't do anything SOON. Once again this has taken a back seat to Iraq, a damn war we have ALREADY WON. There is already a new government installed, all we have to do is play police for another year or 2. Sure people die, it is a conflict, they die in conflicts.
5. Healthcare. I'm 24 yr old college student with no healthcare. I have a few issues that most people would go check out immediatly. My neck has hurt me since 1999, i have some moles that need removing, and i've recently found a skin discoloration, that is getting larger every month. Yay, i may have some sort of skin disease but thanks to our gov't, i can't do smack about it!
Once again i am no Bush supporter anymore (where is John McCain when you need him!!), and i am looking for an excuse to vote for Kerry, but i just can't find one. I'd rather have a moron in office making decisions than a moron in office making no decisions.
