Personally, I'm still undecided. I have a STRONG antipathy towards President Bush, but I just can't shake the abortion problem. I don't hold out much hope that Bush can get Roe vs Wade overturned, unless he has a strong majority in Congress. Only then could he overcome a Democratic filibuster of any potential Supreme Court nominee that might go the other way on the abortion issue. And, of course, there is the related stem-cell issue - another strike against a Kerry vote. My decision is further hampered by the fact that I missed the Illinois registration deadline. Being a strong Democrat state, I was going to cast a third party vote in an effort to break the stranglehold of the 2 party system, which I think works against a fair and open political process. But now, I'm forced to vote on an Arizona early ballot and Arizona is a freakin' swing state, which means my vote may actually count! Darn the luck.

About Me

AS kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;
As tumbled over rim in roundy wells
Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell's
Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name;
Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:
Deals out that being indoors each one dwells;
Selves -- goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,
Crying What I do is me: for that I came.
I say more: the just man justices;
Keeps grace: that keeps all his goings graces;
Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is --
Christ -- for Christ plays in ten thousand places,
Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his
To the Father through the features of men's faces.
Gerard Manley Hopkins

....I have no vote in america today.....
I will vote for intelligence and thinking over the word-garbling puppet now in office. For the first time in my life, I feel afraid of what another term of a president can do to our country. Kerry isn't perfect, but he's our only hope of beating Bush, and I believe getting Bush out of office is our strongest hope. In God we trust, yes, but God helps those that help themselves.

I totally agree - whereas I am not undecided - I am not either a Republican or Democrat in reality. I like to would like to a three or even four party system come into place in the US ... and I believe that disgruntle Democrats on the abortion issue and disgruntled Republicans on the lack of anything else "pro-life" in the party except abortion will very soon possibly unite to form a formdiable force in American politics.
