    Please give only reasons for voting FOR Kerry. No "Because it ain't Bush!" If I see one Bush in your reasons I will disregard the entire post.

    Why would they come home under Kerry?

    Because your mind is telling you to.

    Same reason one would vote for Bush.

    There is no good reason to vote for Kerry.

    He's done nothing significant for this country in over two decades of Senate service.

    Polls show a significant amount of Kerry's support comes from Democrats who are motivated by their hatred of the president, not their loyalty to Kerry.
    I've said it before and I'll say it again, if it wasn't for the ABB crowd, it wouldn't even be close.

    I can't think of a reason to vote for Bush.
    Largest spending in history.
    Huge deficit.
    Lost jobs.
    Has done nothing for social security.
    Has screwed up this country in 4 years.

    Rumor has it that if it weren't for the "scared" crowd, Bush wouldn't have any votes.

    Obviously you can't think of a reason to vote for Kerry either, as the original post specifically requests.

    I don't think UserUser666 is looking for a reason to vote for Kerry as much as rationalizing why he should vote for W.

    Yes, that would be the best place for objective information on John Kerry.

    Since none of the Demohomers are providing any input, I'll give some reasons why I would consider voting for Kerry...

    - Combat outsourcing through removal of tax benefits for corporations who outsorce, or adding tax benefits to companies who do not.
    - Less ease for congress to push high spending, low reward programs through.
    - No consitutional amendment banning gay marriage
    - Could ease tension with some allies (which is stupid, but it's reality and it should be taken into consideration)
    - Reverse overtime pay restrictions

    That said, I won't be voting for Kerry, but if I were led to, those would be my reasons.

    I agree with a lot of the ideas of both canidates. I read through many of the plans from that section of Kerry's website. I don't see how these plans can be enacted. I don't see the section that holds his plan for paying for all of these "reforms". What things will be cut for us to afford this?

    John Kerry is right. All they have to do is raise taxes back to the level they were paying during the Clinton administration on those making $200,000 or more. There is plenty of money driving the economic recovery, but the world money market needs a reassurance that the U.S. is serious about debt control.

    Bush's plans are the same.
    Noway he can balance the budget.
    But he cries about Kerry's record and he is the one spending like there is no tomorrow.

    John Kerry will not make up rationales for war.

    JK will lead and work with the world on global issues, including terrorism.

    JK is for pay-as-you-go in government spending.

    JK will work to make us less dependent on foreign oil.

    JK will work to protect the environment.

    JK will work against tax incentives for outsourcing.

    JK will work for health care for those without insurance.

    It's new research. Federal funding only began in 2000.

    Kerry served honorably in Vietnam, fought with valor. W did everything he and his dad could to avoid Vietnam, and when that didn't work, he just quit showing up to the National Guard. You might think this as just smite, but I think it says tons about character.

    John Kerry will work with the leaders of other countries to battle terrorism. , he's even gotten France and Germany on the Iraq rebuilding bandwagon, as long as W is back in Crawford on Nov 2nd.

    John Kerry will protect the investment I have made in the Social Security system. After another supposed liberal, Clinton, was done with 8 years in office, the Social security system was fully funded till at least 2072. With W's needless tax giveaway to the very rich the Social Security system will be broke in less than 2 decades at which time taxpayers will be expected to make up the difference.

    W's fantasy world of privately funded retirement accounts for the young makes no mention of what is to happen to the millions of people who will be affected by the crash of the current SS system after everyone stops paying.

    John Kerry will work for the people instead of his corporate lobbists. Everytime that W has had a tough choice to make whether to do the right thing, or please his core cons uents and lobbiest, W has chosen the later. That's why he refuses to admit that he's made any mistakes in Iraq even though the reverse is painfully obvious.

    John Kerry has credibility. He's never misled the nation into anything. He's never waivered from his criticizm for the rush to war in Iraq without proper diplomacy. If Kerry had been elected in 2000 instead of W I dare say that the U.S. would not be tied up in Iraq right now. Bin Laden would have been killed or captured. Our national borders would be adaquetly protected, and all the world leaders would be meeting on what to do to help fight radical Islam in the Middle East so that it never takes hold of the minds of the young in the first place.
