Oh yeah I definitely embellished, it was the general attitude summarized, but it was NOT exagerated. If you knew anything about politics at all you would know that these kind of issues usually involve the controlling party not giving the opposing party any chance at all by just writing and passing the bill without their input for the most part. The democrats, rather than accepting Bush's offer to write this bill together, are trying to turn it around on him and politically assasinate him with his own bill. I'm not the only one who thinks this is the case though, there was an AP article about a week ago stating pretty much the EXACT same view as mine. I tried to find it but I couldn't because social security is such a hot and publicized issue right now (next to celebrity phone numbers). If you read my question and full statement in the thread you cut from you will see that I am asking if anything OTHER than policy went INTO your decision. People have all sorts of reasons for voting. I was wondering what some people's reasons were other than policy since we always argue about policy on here and no one seems to know what they are talking about there on either side. I wanted to see what people's opinion of the two candidates character was. Most people I know who voted for Kerry were either Stauch Democrats or just hated Bush, none of them that I recall actually LIKED Kerry except for one, who is an idiot and if you argue with him about it you will see that I'm not saying it BECAUSE he liked Kerry, but because he is an idiot about politics and believes everything he is told. I still like him though, if he ever happens to read this. BTW, Alzheimers doesn't exactly make people idiots. It's a BIT more complex than that! I posted what I posted about your opinion being WRONG because I got the impression you have no IDEA what is going on on capital hill with the social security revamping at the moment. If you did you would realize that what I am saying is COMPLETELY right, and the democrats aren't even trying to hide it - because hey, "That's politics!"
