The Election
...had to, “confront threat to America before it’s too late.” And “Saddam threat due to weapons of MD”, according to Bush’s view on the subject. We got rid of an evil tyrant whose crimes of genocide against his own people can be compared to Hitler’s (gassing Turkish village to test effects of chemical warfare). Kerry “gave the green light to bush about Iraq” and voted for America to go to war. However Sen. Kerry totally contradicted himself when he says “we rushed into it”. How much sense does it make to vote for America to go to war but not fight in it after declaring war with Iraq? The next big issue to address is gay marriage/rights. Gay marriage is immoral and wrong. Marriage is a holy sanction meant to be between a man and a woman. John Kerry is for gay marriage. He voted for the legalization of same sex marriages. I find this very odd though when he “personally believes in marriage between a man and woman”. Pres. Bush while in office lobbied for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. He also believes gay couples should not be able to adopt children. This is 100% correct, a child should not have to suffer ridicule from peers and be influenced in their sexuality because of gay parents. The third issue and most important issue to me are gun control laws. Pres. Bush “supports gun ownership for protection/hunting”. Candidate John Kerry is also an “avid” outdoorsman but plans to ban some semi-automatic shotguns used for shooting sports, “At a Labor Day campaign rally September 6 in Racine, West Virginia, Sen. John Kerry accepted an ironic gift from a labor union representative. The gift, a Remington Model 11-87 shotgun commonly used in hunting and recreational shooting enjoyed by millions of Americans, would be banned as an “assault weapon” under a bill that Kerry is co-sponsoring.” (Sporting Clays Magazine December 04’ issue page 10) What irony an “avid” hunter and shooter banning the very tool you need in order to do both. The last issue in my essay and probably most pivotal in affecting your decision at the p...
