My pointless observations Reasons for voting for Bush:
1. Fear of the enemy- If 9/11 hadn't happened, he probably wouldn't stand a chance in this election. He did everything in his power to make people afraid, so that they'll feel that they need him to protect them. (Hey, if you're going to try to use the president as a human shield, shouldn't you at least go with the taller guy?)
2. Stubbornness- At least two of my family members will vote for Bush, just because that's who my father would have voted for. My father has, in fact, been dead for two years now. And the only reason he would have voted for Bush is because he was too stubborn to see that the Republicans were no longer the people that they've always claimed to be.
3. Fear of the unknown- Yes, everyone knows that the economy sucks right now, but every is also abundantly aware that things could be worse. Lots of people are afraid of upsetting the applecart when they're not entirely sure which way the apples will roll.
Personally, if Bush wins, I'm going with morose with a side of terror. And there's a bottle of cheri-beri pucker with my name on it.
