questionable future of the Supreme Court
During the next four years there could be three vacancies on the Supreme Court which the current president would have to fill. If Bush wins he will likely appoint conservative judges who would quite possibly overturn roe v wade. If John Kerry is elected he will appoint justices which will uphold basic human liberties. This is why it is critical that Kerry wins next week. Bush cannot be allowed to further entrench his religious dogma into our lives. Do you want a president to appoint superstitious right-wing nutjobs whose votes are determined by what they think an invisible man who lives in the sky wants them to do, or do you want a president to appoint justices which stand for reason and common sense? A second Bush term will do long-term damage to the principles of religious freedom this country was founded upon, not to mention the secondary harm it will do to scientific progress. It should be no surprise that democrats dominate in the cities and republicans dominate in the rural areas. Studies show that low income, non-educated bible thumpers in hick towns vote strongly republican. And despite Kerry's promise to repeal tax cuts for the rich, he oddly has more support from those making over 100k a year than Bush does.
For Bush and the bible there are no gray areas, something is either right or wrong. In this case it's we're right, you're wrong, no matter what. And because we're in power, we can force you to follow us.
Not anymore. The descent in to the dark ages must stop here.
