I guess that's what our country gets when MTV starts saying "Vote or die" and sends millions of uneducated first time voters to the polls.... Here's some advise, if you have no clue about politics.... don't vote. Uneducated votes do no good. They put someone in the White House that probably shouldn't be there.

Uneducated voters = Bush victory

I support Bush, he's our President. I didn't vote for him but I'm an American nonetheless.

I'm glad we live in a free country where you can write and protest freely... but you can do it in good taste and bad... and the majority of Bush protest is in extremely bad and uneducated taste. I'm tired of people basing their protest of Bush on his appearance that he's unintelligent. I gaurantee he's smarter than any average American. I've heard high school drop outs make fun of how stupid Bush appears.......... not that all high school drop outs have less than average intelligence.... but I think you see what I'm saying.

I'm not a Dixie Chicks fan... I like MCC older stuff when I was growing up... I haven't liked much country in a long time though. Keith Urban and Brad Paisley are about my favorites at the moment...

I go more for Toby Keiths patriotic music. Atleast he's doing some good by inspiring optimism and telling people that they should be proud to be Americans and back our soldiers no matter what the circumstances...

I think I'm going to go write an Anti-Anti-Bush song now....

Asch, I'm agree with what you're saying. I find it odd too that so many people now claim that "I didn't vote for him..." and yet he got elected twice (unless you believe the conspiracy theorists). What I find even more telling than people who just criticize him because they think it's the thing to do, are the ones who were fervent supporters of Bush and have become disillusioned over time. Take a look at Ohio. Hard-core red state. Very conservative. In the last election, Democrats took back a lot of seats. That's saying something.

As a veteran, I support the position of President of the United States. That doesn't mean that I am supporter of President Bush. I'm not. However, he is the President and he is the Commander in Chief so yes, he has my respect. And again, I support the position of the President of the United States.

The only thing that I would add is that if if you, uneducated voter, are not clear about the candidates or the issues, educate yourself before you go to the polls. It's not just a right, it's a duty as an American to be a part of the system. Your vote does count. Use it wisely.
