I think a lot of people who are voting for Kerry aren't really excited about him - they just don't like Bush. Where do you stand?

I'm not going to vote in this poll, but I will answer. I think John Kerry is a closet Republican. I don't understand why the Republican faithful hate him so.
Oh, yes I do. He's the Democratic nominee.
Bush? I hate the man. I detest him. I think he is a fascist. He glorifies stupidity. He is also dangerous, because he thinks God is guiding him.
So the answer to your question is that I would vote for a dachshound before I would vote for Bush.
As for Kerry, I think he will have good people working with him. I think he will welcome allies. I think he will consider issues rather than "going with his gut." And that alone is reason enough to vote for him.

I'm not going to waste my time with a lengthy reply, as (R)uffda! summarized my thoughts quite well.
I like Kerry, but the strength of that emotion is miniscule in comparsion to my contempt for Bush.

As I stated in another thread, I trust neither parties. But I do plan on voting for the first time in my life to get Bush out of the office. So you can say its against Bush
There are many reasons why I want him out, going from higher tax cut for the wealthy, to why I think he really went into Iraq (revenge for assassination plot against G HW Bush), to consulting with God to guide his decisions. Heck, imo, the only difference between Bush and Osama is that Osama is not bound by the moral of society. Plus there are too many questions on Cheney, Halliburton, and the nice juicy contract at the expense of the taxpayers.
In this situation, I have to elect the lesser of two evils... and that would be Kerry. At least he has had combat and wartime leadership experience. He would understand what it means to lose a loved one in a war better than Bush.
A not so important reason....I hate Bush's smirk. Reminds me of a brat....some loser with a "What are you going to do about it" attitude.

The next President will inherit a terrible mess whomever it will be.

Until the debates I was mostly leaning toward Kerry because I feel that Bush has done a terrible job as president.
Through (and since) the debates I've come more to the feeling that Kerry may actually be able to do a good job as president.
If he does get elected he's got some major messes to work on cleaning up in terms of Iraq and other foreign concerns as well as a host of domestic issues.
He will likely be in a similar position as Clinton in having to work with a Republicon congress / senate.

The next President will inherit a terrible mess whomever it will be. And therefore, why would anyone with a single brain cell left vote for the idiot who got us into that mess!?

I do not like G. W. Bush –I honestly believe that he is correct with a proactive foreign policy and go it alone when required. If Bill Clinton had not gotten the USA involved in Bosnia the Muslims there would still be getting slaughtered – by the time we intervened volunteers from all over the Muslim world were there to fight for the Bosnians. Europe turn its’ head once again and let genocide take place. Look at the Sudan today – UN resolution after resolution, finally a little bit of help – some estimates are that about 1 million will perish. The world is not a nice place, peace is an illusion, and too many people want to control your mind and life. G.W. is one of them; I resent his attitude on religion, that is the constituency to which he must appeal. The block votes and special interest rule. Wish Harry Truman was still here.

I don't disagree with you on the basic point. I supported the Gulf War, Bosnia (although not necessairly the way we did it) and Afganistan. However, I fully believed ahead of time that invading Iraq, and espically how the present admin went about it, would lead to disaster. Even my Clinton hating republican father just shook his head and said, "What in the world does he think he's doing?" (It did have one major effect, my dad is going to vote democratic for the first time in his life.) I think these results were absolutly predictable and the fact that the present admin either had no clue or didn't care means that they have NO BUSINESS running the most powerful nation on earth.

I could add to the long list of stupid things this our Idiot in Charge has done but I don't have them time. I too am thrilled that for the first time in her life my Mom is not going to vote for a Republican President.

I would like to point out to those who are anti-Bush, that my good friend TSB and I disagree on some issues and on G.W. Bush – he is not a hater of Bush, he doesn’t like him and wouldn’t vote for him. I disagree with Kerry, do not dislike him, and just feel he is not the person for the job. Hatred is not part of our agenda, dislike who ever you want, vote for who ever you want – leave the hate and nasty out – IT DESTROYS.

I loathe that yellow streaked, two faced, flip flopping, coward named John Forbes Kerry. Anyone who says they are voting for Kerry and not against Bush is lying through their fingers, and is as dumb as a brick.

flip flopping:
I will never commit US troops without a firm exit strategy.
I will never have US troops under the command of a foreign government. (Our troops are waiting for the Iraqis to tell us when to invade Fahalla.)
There are WMD's. There aren't WMDs
Coward:
Who volunteered for active duty under fire and who was AWOL for the national guard where he joined to AVOID active duty.
I could go on, but why bother.
Keep on bleating BIK.
