Can I just say that I'm not pleased with the way this election turned out? Of course, I wouldn't be pleased if Kerry had won either. I've never been a proponent of choosing the lesser of two evils, well because frankly, evil is still evil. However, each man had qualities that I admired and qualities I didn't.
I'm pretty sure that I'm glad Bush was in office on 9/11/01, but I am not convinced of the quality of his job in Iraq. Bush's faith (or proclamation thereof) gives me a decent insight into his character as a man, but if there is anything that will change a man, it's power. I like that he encourages small business, but dislike the preference he gives to those in the higher tax brackets. I
really dislike his lack of environmental policy.
Kerry has shown himself to be intelligent and charismatic. I like his concern for the poorer people in our country, but I don't think the government should be responsible for everything. It seems to me that John Kerry has a heart for people. Unfortunately, his inability to take a firm stance on anything made me nervous. I also really disliked that he said that he would not let his beliefs influence his policy decisions. If a self-proclaimed devout man will not let his beliefs affect his life, how committed can he ever be to anything?
I am the undecided voter and I pray that above all that God's will be done, either through or in spite of the new government.
