[De la Boot]

Ok, I may be embarking on a very bad subject that more than likely doesn't belong on the buzz. But what the heck....
I'm curious about the political persuasion of boaters. Maybe we could get a little solidarity off the water as well as on.
Quick question that needs a quick answer, no need to go off on this one...

who are you voting for in November :?:

 

[thecraw]

Someone less dumb than the current most powerful man in the world...

 

[FLOWTORCH]

Someone a lot less Texass.

[Ed Hansen]

I'll be voting against G. "Dubya" Bush.

 

[alan]

no one

I am not going to vote. I can't stand W or Kerry.

 

[h2oxtc]

I am going to go out on a limb and say no one will be voting for Kerry, they will be voting against Bush. I probably will vote for Kerry and then I think I will vote for Bush, oh wait... I voted for Kerry before I voted for Bush but now I want to vote for Bush... ah f it.

If Kerry wins I am going to Canada.

GW04

[alexhenes]

If the Canadians know you voted for Bush they won't let you in.

 

[h2oxtc]

So if I lie, would theyrespect that? Works for Kerry (or does it). The only good that would come of Kerry being elected is that he would probably be assassinated by one of the Vets that he spit on or lied about within a year. But then again no Dem is a good choice so Edwards would be no better. Hence, Hello Canada

 

[Squints]

Im going to practice my constituanal right not to vote. i havent seen anyone whos running that i would feel comfortable running the free world. viva la canada

 

[benrodda]

bush may be dumb and texan..... but at least he is consistent.

This is really a bad subject to try and unify boaters with. If you want to associate only with members of your own beliefs and political party, that's pretty sad and very, very naive. If you feel so much in despair about the state of the world, then get off you ass and go volunteer for someone who needs it. There are plenty of good causes to take your mind off which of two people is going to save the human race. mytc.

 

[marv]

Sounds to me that most are pretty much unify to me. Bush is A war mongrel, Kerry is....................... alot of things. Vamos A Canada

 

[h2oxtc]

I personally think that it would be a pretty boring place to be if everyone thought the same things. There are 2 sides to every arguement and somewhere in the middle lies the truth. The only thing I worry about is the saftey of ALL Americans and who is going to provide us the best protection from those that want to hurt us. There are to many things at stake to put someone in office that would try to negotiate with people who have no intention of holding up their end of the bargain. Unfortunatley we are the worlds super power and we have an obligation to the rest of the world to not give in to the terrorists. Someone has to do it, God knows France and Germany wont. (throw Kerry on the same list)

Why would I go and volunteer when I could go and boat.

 

[Mountain]

VIOLENCE=VIOLENCE
Don't be a slave to the propaganda of the war machine
WMD=$$$$$$$$$$$$$
WAR=$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
and who is making the most $$$$$$ off Iraq
Chaney= Halliburton
WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO = CHANGE
WE DESERVE MORE THAN A TWO PARTY SYSTEM
DOWN WITH THE ELECTORAL COLLAGE
LONG LIVE TRUE DEMOCRACY
FUCK THE PLUTOCRACY
POWER TO THE PEACEFUL
FIRE THE LIAR
RENEWABLE ENERGY = SUSTAINABLE PEACE
NO LIFE IS WORTH MORE THAN ANY OTHER
MOVING TO CANADA IS NOT THE ANSWER
RISE UP PEOPLE WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
ONE SMALL CHANGE AT A TIME

Peace and love
MM

Ben, you are probably being sarcastic. For those that didn't pick up on that subtelty, ask yourself if consistently wrong is better than sometimes right?

Mountain, thanks for the motivation! We've gotta do something besides not vote. Your kids deserve more than putting your head in the sand.

 

[wycoloboater]

Here is something that might unify boaters a little:

If Bush is re-elected he is going to continue cutting down forests, building roads into wilderness, and damming rivers. A vote for Bush is a vote against the rivers,forests, and wildplaces that we kayakers enjoy so much.

Think of it as a vote not for Kerry, but a vote against Bush.

Those who don't know their history are failed to repeat it.

France already learned the hard way that you can't beat terrorists with violence alone. Ever hear of two countries called Vietnam and Algeria? If you are perceived as an oppressor no matter if that perception is true or false no amount of “preemptive war” will bring you peace.

What Bush's re-election would mean to the rivers

If Bush is re-elected he is going to continue cutting down forests, building roads into wilderness, and damming rivers. A vote for Bush is a vote against the rivers,forests, and wildplaces that we kayakers enjoy so much.

ditto.

This is the subject that makes this topic appropriate for the Buzz.

 

[surfpiper]

Your kids deserve to be alive to have the same freedoms you have... at least mine do. Backing down to terrorists is not the answer, and Kerry doesn't have a "plan" for anything. Would you like the UN to handle our security? Bush has done as good a job as anyone under the circumstances over the past four years. If you want to replace him with a filthy rich, Massachusetts liberal (who's best friend is Teddy "I can't swim" Kennedy), who will no doubt raise your income taxes (If you work, that is) first thing in office, and has NO plan for Iraq or our security, that's your choice. Also, remember that a guy who owns his own Gulfstream, is worth 1/2 a billion dollars, married THREE very rich women for his own cause, owns a fleet of SUVs, probably doesn't really give a shit about your precious environment... and yes that's Kerry.

I've got the perfect way to spice up this post, let's bring religion into it. That retard W can't make a speach without talking about his F_cking God. He even said once, soon we will have "our God's peace" in Iraq. Either he is an instigator or an Idiot, I believe both. If you get upset or pissed when you hear Iraqis talk about Jihad, imagine how they feel.

There is a reason people hate us, and it is not because "they are jealous of our freedom" as our leader has often said. The significant portion of the world population is a victim of our leisure... got a meeting to go to, gotta go.
