When you get ready to vote for the president this year will you let just one issue decide it for you. As an example let's say you really like John Kerry(the apparent Democratic National Committee nominee) but his stand on gay marriage tuns you off. Will abstain or vote for the incumbent?
Or say you want vote for the Democrat because of some social program but you feel he just can't do the same job in the war on terror as Bush so you vote Bush.
For me there are certain issues that weigh very heavily and the wrong position by the candidate will cost them my vote. Any unconstitutional position such as gun control/banning/registration will cost you my vote no matter how much I agree with the rest of your platform.

Why don't you talk ol' Zell into running? He's too smart to run right now. Bush was looking unstoppable a few months back so he knew better than to try it this time. Besdies the kind of stand up guy he is he wouldn't turn his back on us here in Georgia. We need him to do his job as Senator until the end of his term this year. Now John Kerry and John Edwards have shown me a lot about their character by the way they have decided to spend all their time running for the White House instead of keeping their commitment to the people they represent in D.C. BTW just how old is John Edwards? And why would anybody so young want to be president?

My issues are guns and hunting.....the Republicans are alot more likely to take a stance more inline with mine. Also, the fags gettin married thing strikes a chord with most Republicans. Big Metal Balls has alot to do with it too. Bush has em. I don't see another candidate with em. The last person I want to see in the White House is a wussy.(Can you imagine what Dean would have done in the aftermath of 911? He'd have wasted more money on advisers then the whole war woulda cost.) I mean, I was raised up to be a "salt-of-the-earth" kinda guy and that's the same kinda guy I want in the House.
God, Guns and Guts.

I wouldn't vote for any of these democratic clowns right now for the gay marriage nonsense alone but I'm usually one to look at the big picture more than just one issue, unless it's guns or similar rights that gov't shouldn't tamper with.
I like Zell and I find myself agreeing with him on many things. He's a smart man and I'd probably vote for him if he were running.
I just wish W would let go of the Mars thing and I need to check out rumors I heard about him and the Clintoon gun ban. I wish the press would let it go about the Air Nat'l Guard thing. Have we all forgotten what the last president did when it was time for HIM to report for military duty?
