Voting for Gore
November 7, 2000
I am so glad it's almost over. After weeks of soul searching, and vacillating, and rationalizing and reading and studying and listening to all the BS being offered by their competitors I have just about as many reasons to vote for one as the other.
I agree with many of Bush's positions but, just as in the beginning, I fear that he differentiates between the terms "government" and "the people" when they are in truth, one in the same. I still feel that he is a weak man, who is being told everything to say and do. Although I do like many of the things that he claims to be planning to do, I fear that his inexperience will be a liability in matters of foreign affairs. And with things as hot as they are in the Middle East, not even with Cheney at his side would he be as effective as he should.
So, I guess I am voting for Al Gore. Even though I have many doubts about that as well. I guess it has come down to keeping things status quo. I fear he may be the "lesser of two evils."
Isn't that just flat out pathetic?
