i am a gay republican

Well, in name at least. Lara says she'll let me say I'm one.

<a href="http://www.andrewsullivan.com/main_article.php?artnum=20041027">Andrew Sullivan endorses Kerry</a>

The 5% I disagree with this guy on is that we needed to invade Iraq. ...should that be greater than 5%? 15%?

An addendum:

Christopher Hitchens (leftist turned Bush apologist) gets honorable mention.

Hitchens Rules!

I
I love his "be careful what you wish for Kerry , you might get it!" observation...

Andrew Sullivan's observation of both candidates being pretty 2nd tier is also spot on IMHO.

If there is anything the Kennedy's have taught us, it is that "politics IS the art of compromise." Ask McCain and Hatch, two from across the aisle, who have no problems hammering out new bills with Ted. And since no one seems to be in love with either of these two candidates, one must compromise at some point, somewhere. In this past month (and maybe in the past four years) people like myself are fully recognizing this.

Which gets back to the argument for not voting D or R. The choice is between chunky or smooth, but you're still getting peanut butter.

It's clear to me that Bush and his team are incapable of nation-building in Iraq. The chance for Kerry to be capable is at least not zero.

The world hates George W., and it's beginning to ooze into a hatred of Americans in general. This can't get any worse with Kerry in office, either.

Poland, my ass.

The Dems love to quote Mccain's work to show him as a moderate Rep. who differs w/ Bush on Iraq along w/ Lugar et. al, but at the end of the day, do you think these moderates will be helping to support Kerry or Bush? I'd suspect the latter...

You're right, they are campaigning for Bush.

Undeniably, the number and rates of taxes has gone down under Bush. Not clear he could wrangle that again... Oh wait, that huge corporate tax gift was passed three weeks ago.

Less taxes doesn't necessarily translate into "more money in my pocket".

Maybe they'll vote for Kerry...
