Bush personally isn't anti-abortion, he even paid for one for his girlfriend back in 1970.
Yeah, I'll bet your brother's girlfriend's cousin's roommate's uncle's barber told you that one. I also heard that John Kerry eats babies. That's right, John Kerry eats babies! It must be true, since I said it.
No, it's just the first issue I vote on. Put yourself in my shoes; just for a minute, pretend that you believe that fetuses are living human beings before being born. Could you possibly vote for a candidate that will uphold the right to kill these children?
When you were an embryo, did you feel anything? Do you remember anything?
No. I also don't remember anything before the age of 4. Should this have given my mother the right to stab me in the neck with a pair of scissors when I was 2?
What's your reaction to all the naturally unconcieved babies due to miscariages?
As unpopular as it is here in the US, I am a Christian, and I am certain in my faith in Jesus Christ. Miscarriages are in God's hands, not the result of a doctor's deliberate actions.
Why do you value embryos and fetuses as much as a living human being able to make choices, who is also hopefully a productive member of society?
Would you value a 5-year old's life as much as a 10-year old's? A teenager as much as a middle-aged man? A middle-aged man as much as an octegenarian? For me, these comparisons are the same as comparing a fetus to a grown man.
That's funny; I don't remember the right to kill being included with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
pulled the nation into a pointless misadventure of a war, wasting the lives of 1000+ American soldiers, billions of dollars and the US's credibility in the world community
Freed the people of Iraq from a brutal dictator, saving the lives of thousands upon thousands of Iraqis in the process, as well as captured 75% of the leadership of Al Qaeda.
has presided over a fantastic amount of job loss and failed to do anything about it except passing tax cuts targetted at the super-rich.
I still have a job in the tech sector, and that's all that matters to m. I also remember getting a nice chunk of change from Bush's tax cut, and I'm definitely lower-middle class.
lets his religious views drive his policies
Good. America is running out of people with morals and values.
The first issue that I vote on is how the candidate views the sanctity of human life. Bush is against abortion and the destruction of embryos for stem cell research; Kerry is not. For this reason alone, Bush will be receiving my vote.
I'm not a big gamer, but I play Counter-Strike and some other FPSs from time to time, so maybe I'm not the demographic they're taregeting, but my question is, what is the draw of watching other people play? If you've got an XBox and XBox live, wouldn't you rather be playing than watching others play? Could someone who finds this new aspect exciting explain it to me?
What proof do they have that Kerry will be any different? Sure, there are "campaign promises," but really, how do they know? What specific promises has John Kerry made about scientific research?
AT&T has unveiled a program to foster the "development, delivery, and adoption" of emerging voice over IP (VoIP) applications, capabilities, and devices. The program, based on proprietary AT&T specifications...
If they really wanted to foster "development, delivery, and adoption," they'd use open standards instead of their proprietary specs.
Now that I've gone back and reread the "story" write-up, I realize that the main point is apparently that Bush misspoke when he said predecessors and meant postdecessors (or whatever the word would be).
Notice that there are no quotes that occurred in the last 30 years. I'm pretty sure that when Bush refers to his predecessors, he's thinking more of Clinton/Bush/Reagan/Carter, not Washington/Adams/Jefferson.
On the Green Party website, it states that you support "reparations for people of color in the form of monetary compensation."
Where would this money come from, if this plan was enacted and how would the recipients be determined? If the money would come from tax dollars, what do you say to people, such as myself, whose ancestors had no part in slavery or major racial discrimination and don't think their tax dollars should be spent on these reparations?
I was thinking the exact same thing - security through obscurity is somewhat useful when the public doesn't actually need to know about the insecure event. What good reason is there to report this?

You forgot #5: People who have educated themselves on the issues and agree with Bush more than they agree with any other candidate.
When CmdrTaco said that there would be a balance, he meant that they'd show both viewpoints: Pro-Kerry and anti-Bush.
Will they replace the display on my P-p-p-powerbook? I think it's broken...
This is completely legal. There's no use going to the police; people do this all the time. You should probably just put it behind you.
Oh, and could I have my video camera back? Thanks.

"Our main story tonight: technical work is being outsourced to India.
In other new, the sky is blue and water is wet."
So what you're saying is that you still have the motherboard from a five year old Mac? Is that supposed to be impressive?
Did you not even read the first sentence of the write-up? Localized data for Canada is available at http://local.google.ca/. Sheesh.

It looks like it's taking them a while to find a believable anti-Bush story too.
