See the thing is .. as important an issue that terrorism is ... it doesn't affect everyone's lives. I mean .. it has the potential to affect my life. I'm very thankful I had no family or friends in New York during 9/11 .. and some day maybe suicide bombers will start blowing up buses in the US and Canada... but, blind or not, that's not what really matters to most people (at least I don't think it is).
Most people, as far as I can tell, want to see their own country's economy do well. They want jobs, they want health care, they want freedom and they want low taxes.
The only thing Bush really has to do with when it comes to the rest of the world is economy and freedom. People don't like the US military and police in their countries, period. And they don't like the idea of sending all their natural resources to the US.
They feel that Kerry will lessen military presence and put less pressure on them to sell their resources. No one gives a fuck about whether Bush can combat terrorism or not.. because that's something the world must do together. No one considers Bush their hero nor do they want him to be.
But I guess in the southern states, where Bush support is very high, that's a different story. People want that cowboy hero thing. Go out and get 'em tiger. Blow them all to hell. Invade countries and wipe out those arab terorrist mother fuckers.
If you've ever worried about anti US sentiment.. now is the time to do it. Becaues that's the exact image that Bush supporters in the US are giving off. The republican convention on TV portrayed a bunch of gun totin' blood thirsty people that were all about war and nothing else.
If I were american I'd vote Kerry simply for the fact that I think he concerns himself more with issues that are going to directly affect my livelyhood .. like job growth, health care, the right to run porn sites etc.
