I apologize that my above post was written in a bit of a stream-of-consciousness style and therefore might be a bit hard to decipher. All I want to know is whether those with strong opinions against Bush here have actually done their homework on Kerry to decide whether he's a better candidate or not.
I have done my research on Kerry...I support his views on gay marriage, stem cell research, and abortion.

For example, Bush does not tolerate abortion whatsoever. Kerry only tolerates it on 2 conditions: In cases of rape, and when the mother's life is in danger.

Stem cell, Bush heavily is against this as he is pro-life. Kerry supports this because, like me, the illnesses of today to be cured are critical if stem cell research is allowed.

Gay marriage. Bush wants to ban it completely. Kerry wants each state's judicial system to determine if it's fair or not.

I support everything that Kerry is for, and with that I'm pro-Kerry...more so than anti-Bush.
