Bush got more votes for president than any president in history.

So did John Kerry, the only presidential nominee to ever get more votes than Kerry is Bush. I do have to say that it is good to know that people are getting out to vote during this campaign. The good news about this is that Americans are taking more of an interest in their country and starting to live up to the duty of voting. The bad news is that Americans don't understand that the other half of that duty is making an educated vote. You can't just buy into the candidates rhetoric.

Here is a pretty good idea of how I feel about this week's festivities here in good old Ohio.

On another note I just want to mention that Ralph Nader is a dick. This is the first election where I have not voted for Ralph Nader... And frankly despite his statements of "The lesser of two evils is still evil." I still felt like I was voting for the lesser of three evils before. And now I feel like he is actually worse than Kerry but at least more straight forward than Bush. In 1996 I was a bright eyed, bushy tailed 18 year old with stars in his eyes and I proudly wrote in Ralph Nader because I hadn't done any research and I liked the idea of supporting a third party. I would still make this choice in hind sight. In 2000 I voted for Nader because his running mate was an amazing wonderful articulate woman who has some sense and can see that getting Bush out of office is a larger issue right now. Consequently I did not know that she did this until I just tried to google her and was unable to find a website but was able to find that article. As a privledged white heterosexual anti-racist voter I would just like to say that Winona LaDuke kicks major ass and I will vote for her on any and every occasion I can, unless she is running as a third party against Bush.

I will write more on this later but in closing yet again "I hate everyone... Except you."
