I'm very biased towards Bush in terms of foreign policy, a little peeved towards his environmental policy, indifferent towards his education policy (education starts with the individual and at home, folks. That doesn't change, no matter HOW much money the government throws at the issue) and just plain confounded at most everyone's healthcare policy (Bush's plan or lack thereof included). Social security is a joke to me, so I'm with Bush on his directions behind freeing it up a little bit for private investment, I've ultimately come to the conclusion that his insistence on proposing a constitutional amendment towards gay marriage is NUTS because I think the Federal govt. can handle this without mucking around with the Constitution. I've liked his trade policy so far, I LOVE his tax policy and anybody that get's under Chirac's skin automatically gets a "hurrah" from me out of sheer principle...
Kerry? The simple fact that he's a Massacrat and has Ted Kennedy handling him scares me senseless, but to be honest, I can't pin him down on too many issues do to the incessant flip-flopping his record shows. I've friends in Mass. that are indifferent to his stint in the Senate, though they admittedly are rather conservative themselves. More research required on my part, though Uncle Ted being one of his "ringleaders" makes me want to blow chunks...
I'd dig through voting records if I was you and make your decision there. Pick your key concerns that you feel that you know your vote will hinge upon and spend some time pouring over information on them.
The propaganda on both sides of the policial fray is so thick you'll need radar to come away with a firm feeling of what's been supported and why. Good luck.
Don't think the DNC or RNC will help you clarify your decision, either. That will be about the worst place to make a final decision off of, though it should help clarify some of the positions each will be marching for.
