Why not to vote for Bush

As an American citizen, everyone should vote. If you choose not to vote, that is your prerogative. Americans, who do not vote, have no right to complain about how this country is run.
This will be my first time voting in an election, and deciding on a president is a really tough decision. Senator Kerry seems to have a better plan as to how to deal with the war in Iraq. He claims that he does not support a draft but presidents have lied to the American people in the past. He seems to say whatever he thinks people want to hear.
John Kerry may not be much better than George Bush; however, George Bush should not be reelected. He started a war in Iraq that has killed thousands of Iraqi civilians and American soldiers. On top of that, we went into Iraq without help from the U.N. There was only one purpose for this war and that is oil. Bush used Sadam as a cover so that he could control the oil industry for the companies in which he has a financial interest.
One of the major reasons Bush attacked Iraq was because the United States found evidence that Iraq were building nuclear weapons. A fact which was later proven false. Why not attack China; we know for a fact that they have nuclear weapons. The reason we did not attack them, no oil. If China provided a great amount of the United States oil, I am sure that Bush would have no problem attacking China, also.
Why is it that other countries around the world are prevented from having nuclear weapons? It is so no other countries can oppose us, the Untied States, the country that has the most nuclear weapons in the entire world.
Senator John Kerry says that if President George Bush is reelected he will start the draft. President Bush denies this accusation, but has nothing to back it up. There is no reason to start a draft, we have thousands of people who just came back from Iraq and who have volunteered to fight, why not send them instead of drafting people? I, for one, will not fight a war that I believe we are fighting for the wrong reasons. There has not been a draft since the Vietnam War, a war where hundreds of thousands of people were killed. There has not been near as many deaths in this war, so why do we need a draft?
President Bush has proposed to open A.N.W.R (Alaska Natural Wildlife Refuge), so oil companies can drill for oil in a national park. President Bush has no respect for nature. He has never lived in Alaska nor has he ever been there. If you have never seen the beauty of such a place, how can you determine what is good for that state. Opening A.NW.R. would destroy the natural habitat for many species of animals as well as the land that is supposed to be protected.
Nature is not the only thing President bush has a problem killing. During his five years as Governor of Texas the state executed one hundred and thirty one prisoners, the most of any state in the country. If he has so little problem with killing the things that his god supposedly created then why would he care what happened to this country, let alone the rest of the world.
Not only is Bush wasting the American taxpayers money, he has also killed thousands of people that should not have been killed. He only thinks of oil when he does anything, and makes up lies to cover for his true intentions. I will not be voting for George Bush when it comes to election time.
