I'm going to vote for Kerry. I live in Idaho, one of the most --maybe the most-- Republican states, so my vote will count for nothing. I know in advance I might as well not vote. That's not right.

I will tell you what is not right.

1.What's not right was the useful idiots in the news media giving the state of Florida to Gore about 45 minutes before the polls closed in the pan handle of Florida and people were still standing in line to vote.

2. The way the Democratic party in Florida threw away the absentee votes of the soldiers in the military.

3. The way that Al Gore wanted to recount only the most liberal counties of Florida and ignore the conservative ones.

4. They tried to use different counting protocols in different counties when the law was that the entire state had to use the same counting protocol.

5. Then the liberals used the remark "G.W. Bush was selected not elected." All the Supreme court did was mandate that the state of Florida use the protocol that was in place BEFORE the election.
