You know what Bush will do, but you can't know what Kerry will do since he hasn't had a chance at being president yet. If you don't like what Bush is doing, then you should vote Kerry since he will probably be different.

you make a good point only I kind of disagree with the first part. I normally vote for a third party ( not this year though) because I think we need one badly. We are the only real democratic country with only two parties. Most countries have 3-5 parties. I think is starts small. 5% of the people vote for a thrid party and then in the next election that party gets matching funds and can make more noise the next election. Think about perots reform party if it wouldn't have fallen to pieces they could be a major force today.
But about the unproven you are right. You know what bush is about but you will now know how kerry will do until he 's in office so it's a roll of the dice. I say if you don't like the current people let someone else have a shot.
