Wow! That is my first reaction to the blog post of A Sad American. I am not going to lie or try to hide the fact that I did vote for Kerry. However; I am in a slight sense relieved that he didn't win the election. As I've said before, I absolutely hate getting involved in political issues but I chose to vote and become involved because I believe we should exercise the rights that people fought hard for us to have. I was one of those many people who went into the polls that day with a 'wish-washy' feel on who they really genuinely wanted to support and vote for. I went back and forth and quite honestly, do not know exactly why I voted for Kerry. Just as Sad American, I view myself as more of a liberal and would have liked to see a Democrat win the election but not necessarily John Kerry. I completely agree with the reasons why Kerry didn't get the vote from Sad American and I think it is 100% okay for her to have voted for Bush without actually supporting Bush's ideas. I wish I would have read that blog earlier because I felt the same way in my mind where I didn't really personally like either candidate, and actually contemplated writing in myself or someone else, and I feel Sad American made a great deal of sense when explaining how voters like "us" felt in the election process. I agree it is better to have someone running your country who actually stands behind their words and follows through with their plans, even if I don't completely agree with their specific ideas on all things. I hope more people get the chance to read Sad American's blog so they can also make some sense of why they felt the way they did about their 'wishy-washy' vote decision like I did. Finally, I have found something that involves the election and politics that I actually enjoyed reading.
