Bush: Christian fundamentalist, divisive leadership, wants to impose his personal opinions on the nation rather than representing the people in general. Prepared to make rash, illogical decisions that have fatal consequences for his people and the innocents in other countries, again based on his own opinions.
Kerry: Prepared to consider the view of all sides and come to conclusions that may differ completely from what he personally believes, rather than substituting his own whims for the will of the public. Doesn't want his own religion to be the driving force in his nation's life. Doesn't view the world as black-and-white, us-and-them, the-US's-allies-and-those-who-must-die. Claims to care about the US's place as a member of the international community, rather than as an intimidating force that demands the subservience of other nations then brands as 'evil' anyone who does not follow his 'orders'.
The upshot: Bush is a dangerous religious zealot and a bigot. His short-sighted, self-serving ideas will kill more people, and turn the US into a dangerous rogue state if he remains in power. His close-minded approach to the diversity of the American people will run the risk of denying equal rights to many American citizens, because they don't conform to his own views on 'right' and 'wrong'.
As of yet, Kerry hasn't displayed many similar tendencies. If I was in the US, I'd vote for Kerry. He seems to be much more of a 'reasonable man', more humble than Bush. A man of religion, but not one who wants his religion to dominate the affairs of the nation. One who believes in individual freedom of choice, but acknowledges the views of all on contentious issues.
