Since we are such a diverse group here I though it would be fun to have our own poll-let's see if we at allnurses reflect the results we'll wake up to on Wednesday(or Thursday or sometime in the next month) It should be an interesting week.....
I just have to ask, I might be missing something. How can working people vote republican? I have never seen any advancement for the working class under republican rule.
That's exactly what I don't get........how folks can vote against their own economic self-interest. Oh well, I guess there are some things that are not meant to be understood (at least not by me), and that's one of them. :stone
I am from a Kerry state, because the masses in our metropolis's are going that way...but I live in rural areas, and all the rural are going Bush, and most medics I know are going Bush...I thought that was quite interesing. We will see come tomorrow if the rural folks get their say or what...but they are anticipating a Kerry win here. We rural folks vote in masses, it is the one hopeful way to change things in our minds..because generally we are ingnored (and why I wonder..there are more rural communities than larger cities here in our state!).
The thing with our elections is our measures...and many healthcare measures are out there! Too bad scare tactics are being used to scare non-medics into some pretty bad choices...those are the ones we medics out here are really watching! President..very important, Senitors and reps..again very important...but we have some VERY important healthcare measures that can change our jobs significantly and effect our patients...those are the ones that scare me most!!!!
So get out and vote! But don't forget about the sneeky little measures that can make our field a nightmare overnight! :)
I had a horrible nightmare last night the nightmare was about the election and it was a virtual tie except for one state yep Florida Bush ended up winning in a landslide in florida what a scary dream i think Bush is gonna win sorry democrats i really would love to see both Bush and Kerry lose too bad its a two party system.

How will Kerry advance the working class? By taxing us more? He says he won't but he has always voted in favor of raising taxes. How will he help small business? Tax them more so they are forced to lay off workers? As a working Republican I fail to see how Kerry would "advance" the working class. It is not the government's responsibility to advance me, it's my own.

I totally agree with you. Unfortunately though I think Bush has instilled so much fear in people that other important issues have taken a back burner . What's even scarier is how people have forgotten that nothing has been done to make it safer.
