Interestingly enough, I feel exactly the same way, but about Kerry instead.

And having lived in a country with a centre-left government since 1997, causing 
terrible long-term damage, I feel well placed to suggest that:

voting for the "Democrats" will:

1. not be in the economic interests of America, nor it's citizens,
2. not be in the interest of America's security,
3. not serve the world environmentally (imaginary hobgoblin syndrome which 
Bush, amazingly and thankfully, has avoided),
4. not be in the future of the children in the US (as I say, the long-term 
damage caused by the UK's centre-left government will have to be paid for for 
decades to come).

The fact that we are poles apart is exactly what politics is all about.

Regards,

Simon
