I voted for Kerry in the last election.  I think if he were president now I would be able to get health insurance for my children.  I feel that he would have started taking troops out of Iraq.  Don't get me wrong I am all for our soldiers but not for this war. But thats a whole other question.

He may not be great, but he's better than Kerry. Kerry said that he would keep troops in Iraq until the job got done, which is what Bush is doing. Kerry's domestic policies were wacked. That's why i say Bush may not be that great, but he's better than Kerry

abso-fukkin-lutely not!!!  i am not a democrat, but did vote for Kerry because he was (as we already know) the far better choice. so if Kerry had been elected and had fukked up as many things as bush -- well, let's be fair, it is mostly cheney and rove and rumsfeld and others around bush, then i ABSOLUTELY WOULD HAVE TURNED ON HIM. I would be asking for his impeachment just as i am asking for the Team B impeachment now.

They would probably still be trying to figure out what to do.  Seriously though, there probably wouldn't be that much difference, most of the intelligence the Bush administration had was gathered during the Clinton administration.  I think Gore would've vacillated on Iraq initially, but ultimately he probably would've taken a similar course of action.  Several high profile democrats were for the war in Iraq (Hillary!). Except he would've let the UN option run it's course toward futility, so he might have gained some additional world support.  But then again, you have to remember that countries like France, Germany and Russia still want to be players on the world stage, so they probably would've been difficult to deal with no matter what.\n\nUltimately, I think the result would've been very similar, regardless of what people say.

WITHOUT QUESTION.  JOHN KERRY IS AN HONORABLE MAN WHO SERVED MERITORIOUSLY IN VIETNAM, WHILE BUSH WENT AWOL AND GOT DRUNK AND DROVE.  JOHN KERRY EARNED EVERYTHING HE EVER ACHIEVED IN LIFE, BUSH WAS HANDED EVERYTHING ON A SILVER PLATTER.

Great question! I would most definitely prefer a president that stands up for us and takes care of threats. It is sad how many unthankful people live in America. We are very spoiled!

In place of Bush i would ask the American education system be fixed, so i can understand some people's frigging questions!\n\nOther than that, i would blame Cheney and Rice too.

The only thing that will change since the Dem's won their fight are domestic issues. They haven't a plan to get out of Iraq either. They are soft on illegal immigration, the Patriot Act, and abortion. Having Nancy Pelosi, a notorious San Francisco liberal, Speaker of the House, is a disaster for America.

well, after they finally allowed the overseas military absantee ballots to be counted (that kerry's team tried to keep from happening because they arrived a day late or something similar), it wasn't even close.  Bush won by a large scale.  I don't know the actual numbers.

Not when the choice was Bush or Kerry. I mean, come on, Kerry as president. That gives me the willies.

QUOTE; "I would rather have Bush as President than Kerry or Gore."\nI love it when republicans say this. They do it because they have no way to intelligently defend bush, so they resort to throwing around moronic insults. It would have been terrible if John Kerry got elected! Things would have ended up being just like they were under Pres. Clinton. People would all be working, gas would be $1.10/gal. families would be buying houses, we wouldn't be at war and 9-11 would probably never have happened! Yeah, THAT would suck!!!

Yes, I'd much rather have Kerry in office.  While Bush has continued to destroy the country, Kerry is using his power as a senator to try to push through all the legislation that he spoke of during the race.  Even though he lost, he is still fighting for America instead of against it, like Bush.  And most of the bad things that was said about Kerry was just propaganda put out by the Bush administration, more lies.  And who cares if Kerry smoked pot????  Bush is an alcoholic and used cocaine!  Would I vote for him again? I don't know.  It would depend on who else was in the running.  Hillary would be my first choice.

that is a really good question i watched part of it and i ralized the same thing too.but you never know with politics these days.i think that the person that would be next in line would probably be john kerry because he was another top candidate for president even though i dont like him but he would probably be the next person in line but honestly i dont know, nobody knows except for the government who knows everything.

I think the majority of the U.S. at the moment is republican. For '08 I can't see a democrat winning. If another disliked republican administration takes over than by '12 no doubt dems will hold the white house. Republicans will probably hold house + senate in '08 as well.

Actually, yes it would have a different outcome. If Gore had won, we would be trying to negotiate with the terrorists rather than fighting them.

We'd be so much better off! He isn't perfect by any means but Iraq never would have happened and I believe neither would 9-11. \nThe environment certainly would have been better off!\nHow many people would be alive today if Bush hadn't been in?\nThousands-many thousands!
