~~Does President BUSH got WOOD?~~

To most of you if comes as no surprise that I know nothing of politics, in fact, this is the first election that I have actually watched and paid attention to the debates. So I need help here!
I consider myself Democrat, I am a low income single mother to 3 children and I have not seen any Republican issues that have even come close to involving me at all.
Tonight, however, I have to say that I am torn. After the first debate, my idea that Pres Bush is a mentally challenged man was verified. He was only able to repeat himself and make funny faces.
Tonight, he was prepared.
I think I have to say that, aside from the abortion/stem cell issue, that he actually won this debate. There is a good reason I say this. It has been said that Kerry lies about certain things and is wishy washy.
I researched Kerry's standing on certain issues, seen how he voted and I know he is considered "wishy washy" only because of the way Bush words things.
HOWEVER, tonight {while discussing tax breaks for business'} Kerry stated that Bush OWNS a TIMBER COMPANY and is considered a small business owner and reaps those tax benefits from this. Bush was, IMHO, legitimately surprised by this.
Did we catch Kerry in one of MANY LIES?? Only one slip-up?? What?? {{scratches head}}
I also found out tonight that the current and widespread rumor that Bush has a draft plan ready for 2005 is a LIE. IMHO, Bush was legit when stating this also.

Questions where asked dealing with issues close to my heart that both candidates had good answers for.
#1 Bush + Abortion.... He is against it, signed the bill banning partial birth abortions and signed the "Unborn Victims of Violence Act".
ON STEM CELL RESEARCH- only for umbilical cord research and not even really for that.

##Kerry + Abortion.....Says " I am Catholic but I can not take my article of faith and impose it onto someone else of a different faith"....Says "I will not tell a 16 y/o who has been raped by her father/impregnated by him to go get permission from him to have an abortion!".....Says it is NOT as simple as Bush says it is....Each case has to be looked at individually!
STEM CELLS?? YES...There are thousands of frozen embryos that will be destroyed or just stay frozen, we could use these. He is for an ETHNICAL EMBRYONIC STUDY!

ME + Abortion & stem cell.....I AGREE with Bush and banning partial birth abortion, HOWEVER, I agree with Kerry about it being on an individual case basis.
I know of a few women that would and HAVE used abortion as birth control, I also know of some that have NEEDED abortion!
The "Unborn Victims of Violence Act".....YES, IF the woman is over 3 months along. I just do not believe that most souls enter the infants body before 3 months of pregnancy age. That is also why I agree with the banning of PARTIAL Birth Abortion {{unless needed}}. If an abortion is called for it should be done before 3 months of pregnancy.
STEM CELLS- YES, especially if abortions are being done. Why not? If you have the tool in your hand, why not use it?? I am sick, I want and NEED a cure. There are many like me and MANY worse than me who can benefit from this research. We might not get a cure for everything in our lifetime, but think about our children.

In closing on the debate, Bush was asked the last question. He was asked to ADMIT 3 MISTAKES he has made. He couldn't do it, the only thing he did was say where he thought he was right about this war.
Now- we ALL know that he HAS made MISTAKES, broken promises mainly. He broke his promise for a True global Coalition..{{he pushed our allies aside to get HIS enemy}}, He said he would go to war as a last resort? {{Last resort, huh, what was his FIRST resort? I didn't see him try anything else}}, I am sure a few more can be added.
I won't say much about the war because it makes me angry. I STRONGLY believe it was done in THIS MANOR because of a family GRUDGE. Would we have gone to war anyway?? Yes, most likely. Now it has been started, 100's of people die everyday, there is no stopping it. It will get worse before it gets better no matter who we put in office.
So how do we vote??
We keep the Bush Baby in there? I mean, this IS HIS F*ck-up. When one of my kids make a mistake, I make them fix it themselves.
Or
Do we vote in Kerry, who {{MOST LIKELY}} is a liar, but does have 3 purple hearts. {{giggle}} The only government people he seems to have on his side are ALL military, so he must know something.

Someone help me out here....Give me YOUR OPINION!
