Go Vote.
No matter who you choose tomorrow, no one can deny that the stakes are higher for this election than they have been in the past half-century. Some things to consider:
- Half of America did not vote in the 2000 elections
- Half of this year's "likely voters" polled are pro-Bush
- Citing a strong post 9/11 connection with Bush, these voters continue to convince themselves that certain things are true, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary:
- They believe there were weapons of mass destruction. There were not.
- They believe that Saddam Hussein was connected to Al Qaeda. He was not.
- Half of them believe you can win a military war on Terrorism, a thing you cannot see, find, or kill. You cannot.
- Bush himself has publicly admitted all of these things are untrue, yet continues to wage war, spread fear, and allow these untruths to spread throughout his campaign.
In 2000, I didn't know who to vote for. The Republican and Democratic parties looked almost identical.
This year, I know one thing. I know who I'm voting against.
