If you are a died-in-the-wool Republican or Democrat, then please don't respond to this. I would like responses from those of you who are honestly undecided each year when it is time to vote (especially for President)
It is said that about 20% of Democrats will always vote Democrat, and the same for Republicans. Another 15% of both parties usually always vote for their party (without really thinking about it), but might change if there is a major issue that influences them in the short term. But what about the other 30% of Americans. How do you decide who to vote for? Do you place some specific issues over others? Please take a few minutes and explain to me why you had a hard time choosing Bush vs. Kerry. Again, about 70% of Americans will be able to tell a pollser who they will definitely vote for in 3 seconds FLAT. What keeps you from deciding. To be honest, I don't completely understand this indecision, so please enlighten me.

To be specific to the Bush, Kerry election there were a number of things that pushed it the way it did go but the main thing was the orwellian manipulation of the public by george bush, this quote might interest you.
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Göring during the Nuremberg Trials.
that is exactly what the bush admin did, exactly. they copeid word for word a strategy employed by the nazi's to get control.
i used to be middle of the road, until i found the scary facts

If I can't stand voting for the lesser of two evils, I don't vote the office at all. On statewide candidates in Nevada, we have a "None of these candidates" selection. Too bad that selection isn't on every office on the ballot. I don't vote for anyone whom I wouldn't want in my home as a guest, nor anyone who attacks their opponent with non-issue claims, like personal claims. It's hard to explain. Every election is a crap-shoot!
