I'd like to see Edwards, man of the people, explain why he created a corporation to shield his earnings and avoid paying $500+K in Medicare taxes. These taxes fund healthcare for the poor and elderly, in the 'other' America. Shame on you John Edwards.

Well, at least someone tried to shed some light on the situation. Personally, I like Kerry and Edwards and I think they'll win. Yippee.

You give up far too easily or your standards are too low if your only goal is to get rid of Bush. Kerry agrees with him on major issues of public prominence (for instance the invasion of Iraq and the USA PATRIOT act). So you'll at best get rid of Bush, the man, but the policies that have been with the US for so long will continue to cost this country billions of dollars and thousands of lives. Bush versus Kerry still strikes me as a false dichotomy -- rewarding the Democrats for allowing the Republicans to be so bad and in some instances going along with horrible policies.

Edwards is much less a brilliant choice than he is the obvious choice. I am a fan of Edwards, but find little to like about Kerry.

All too often I think people vote on EMOTION instead of ISSUES!

You mean when people make wild misrepresentations like

Has John Kerry presented any facts that will lead us to the �promised land� other than having the U.N and France formulate our foreign policy for us?

Why is the goal solely to get rid of Bush? Shouldn't we be voting on hard FACTS and ISSUES? Has John Kerry presented any facts that will lead us to the "promised land" other than having the U.N and France formulate our foreign policy for us?

All too often I think people vote on EMOTION instead of ISSUES! So far, Kerry hasn't given me anything I haven't heard from every other POLITICIAN!!

Commenting on Branko Collin's comment.

It is not hard to understand why there is high
enthusiasm. The goal is to get rid of Bush. In
order to do that, the issues relating to intellectual
property rights must take back seat. Even if John
Kerry wants to add another 30 years to copyright term,
people still vote him.

According to the third bullet in http://www.johnkerry.com/issues/tech/,
it seems that John Kerry wants to add more protections
for intellectual property rights and to strengthen
these rights, contrary to the principles of open and
public domain (free) knowledge.

The difficult choice in choosing the lesser evil from
two evils is no stranger to politics.
