My one and only political post:

So, as a moderate Republican living in Washington State I can generally assume that my vote will get cancelled out by just about anybody that I work with, but I thought that I'd post a link to American Digest's "50 reasons to vote for President Bush":

That's it, I will now put away my soap box.

UPDATE:  Gosh, I didn't realize what a can of worms I'd be opening by posting something like this.  I've received more comments on this topic than all previous topics combined, and some of them have been quite nasty.  So, I'll not be accepting any more comments on this thread, I can recommend www.democraticunderground.com for these sorts of opinions.

I'm all for political debate (maybe not here though) but that article is just dramatic right-wing posturing.

The people who caused the pain and misery in those photos are largely from Saudi Arabia. Most of the September 11 hijackers. Osama bin Laden. Wealthy Saudi financiers of terrorism across the world.

That article could better be described as "15 reasons to vote against war criminal George W. Bush and 35 reasons to declare Saudi Arabia a terrorist state".

Kerry can't lose if this is the best you Republicans can throw at him.
