US political parties

Bill Clinton is such a bad guy, we know/sarcasm....I mean because oral sex has everything to do with politics and nothing to do with his private life.

I need to start looking up Kerry things.  I can't vote but I despise Bush for what he has done in the past 4 years.

I saw that last night too laura! it was really good! the only thing i really strongly disagree with kerry about is sending more troops in. i just can't agree with that. but he is for bringing our allies in closer, and approaching the war differently. But did anyone notice that he skipped around a lot? like when the guy asked how he was going to improve inner city areas and he didn't really even answer? maybe they didn't include everything in the interview, but i'm going to have to see or hear some straight answers from him before i really decide on voting for him or not...

hmmm, yeah that is a good point even tho I didn't see the whole thing. Dangit I hope it is on again soon, if not maybe i'll just read the interview on mtv.com

I am so bloody confused. I really wanted John Edwards & so did a lot of people from my school but now that he's out I have no clue who I'm going to vote for. I used to like Bush but lately he has been bugging the crap outta me & Kerry has always bugged me, but lately I seem to want to vote for him more. Ahh dangit. I don't know what I should register as now.  :?

yeah, i think i'll read it when i get the chance too, because they could have cut a lot out of what they showed. anyways, the thing that bugs me is they show the shows at 10:30, when most teenagers aren't watching. They need to publicize it more too. if it's so important, then they need to show more than just two commercials! :-P

wow, that is great.  Not that you are voting for Kerry but that you are making a informed decision.  I haven't seen any of that but if they are really doing what you say, then great.  They should have all the canidates on something like that to make it fair.

see i don't even know if i want to vote for Kerry.......gah it's too hard. i considered voting for Nader.....but blah i don't know what the hell i'm gonna do now :-P

yeah i agree with you, they (mtv) should have like, hour long specials instead of just little half hour ones where they edit out a lot of info.....i think it's great that they're doing Choose or Lose and all that, but they need to execute it right to make people informed.

Politics fascinates me. And yet, I'm still confused. I know I shouldn't really be thinking about it now, because I've got almost five years before my opinion actually matters, somewhat, but I have conversations on politics all the time.

Every time I tell myself that I'm going to, you know, be a Democrat I think of the Southern Democrats during the Civil War, God knows I don't like the Confederacy. But then I remember I shouldn't be stereotypical; but I think . . . "If I think this, there are certainly more people in America who think the same thing. So, if I become a Democrat, will they think I'm just another Southern bigot?" The only thing I really agree with the Democratic party on is war, and how it doesn't solve anything. Because I really believe that. But that's one thing, and ONE thing shouldn't determine every political belief I have, not saying that if I DO in fact became a Democrat, I'm going to be anti-war, pro-choice, etc. - I'm certainly not going to believe EVERY belief is right, in whichever political party of which I'm a part.

So, I decide I'm going to be a Republican. But then . . . I keep going back to the part in American History X, when the fat guy is interviewing the generic-lesbian-looking boy, and the boy says something about how only "white, Protestant, Republicans" count. And that, big surprise, pisses me off.

I shouldn't be stereotypical; but I think . . . "If I think this, there are certainly more people in America who think the same thing. So, if I become a [Republican], will they think I'm just another [racist, white asshole]

like the guy in American History X? Of course I won't be, but everyone labels everyone and everyone stereotypes. The only thing I disagree with, in the Republican party, is their solution to all life's problems: war. I can just imagine an American driving down some Canadian road, the Canadian hits the American, so we go to war with Canada. That's, for some reason, the picture I always have in my mind.

So, I decide to be Independent, but that, to me, is like saying that I don't really know or care what's going on, so I'm going to remain unbiased or undecided.

Too much time on my hands, I know. I just want everyone to spread the love. You don't have to be liberal to think that.
