Just out of curiousity, why do you want to vote for Kerry? I'm not trying to make this an argument, I'm not like alot of those idiots who want to curse you out for what you believe in. But I read your reasons, and it appears you got alot of those beleifs of yours from the "documentary" Farenhiet 9/11. Michael Moore's film protrays Bush to be an idiot, which isn't the case at all. Moore's film only tells half-truth stories. I reccomend a website for you [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
It's long but it's well worth your time, that is if you believe the half true stories that Moore tells.
I know this is an advice column and this is not nessisary asking for advice, but the way you come off is just completly awesome for a 14 year old, and I like the advice you give, it's real and true. Sorry for taking up your time...

I know that Fahrenheit 9/11 does make some stretches, but also some good points on the Bush administration. The Patriot act, for example. The fifty-six deceits site does give the film that, among a few other things. Even many of the democrats who saw the film went in knowing that Moore would make some stretches. It's been argued that it's impossible to make un unbiased political documentary. So while Moore is biased, he makes plenty of good points. I read quite a few good articles on the film right after it came out.
Fifty-six deceits has many good points, particularly about the election. Still, George Bush did NOT win the popular vote, and the electoral vote has problems if the electoral winner can have a miniority of the votes. That and the "butterfly ballots" made the election unfair.
Even before I saw Fahrenheit 9/11, I was a democrat. So while I took some ideas from the movie, most of my arguments are based on what I have read in news.
I also dislike George Bush for giving tax cuts to those who don't need it (SUV owners and the very rich) and I don't like him for being against gay marriage and abortion. He seems to try to abolish separation of Church and State, and that bothers me.
On Iraq, I just don't think he should have gone in. US soldiers have died. A lot of them, many of them poor kids who wanted money to go to college, which was the point Moore was trying to make with Lila Lipscomb. I know people who have done that.
So my point is, I'm in the Anybody But Bush political party. I want someone for president who will disentangle us from Iraq and not run off and start another war instantly. Kerry has proved that he can be a good diplomat in his handling of the MIA problems in Vietnam. It helps that he's pro-gay marriage and pro-choice.
