Topic: Who will make the better president?
Here is my prediction of what will hapen if John Kerry is elected. America will turn into the international country of pancakes... (and) lessen his environmental stance just to get enough syrup.

With election day fast approaching, I decided to share my thoughts about the race for the White House in 2004.
First, I am tired of the presidential debates focusing solely on the Iraqi war. Even when the moderator asks a new question of the candidates, they rehash the same thing that we have been hearing for the past three months. It's time for them to come up with something new and interesting to pique the American people's interest, instead of creating a cure for insomnia.
The vice presidential debate was a little more interesting however. Senator John Edwards, and Vice President Dick Cheney engaged in a lot more mudslinging. This fact made Cheney turn purple and John Edwards had more hand gyrations than a baseball manager. My advice to Edwards is simple. The last vice president who used hand gestures was Richard Nixon, and things didn't work out too well for him.
After weighing the two debates and trying to figure out the politicians' stand on particular issues, voters will have to make a choice of who will be the next leader of the free world. Here is my prediction of what will happen if John Kerry gets elected. America will turn into the international country of pancakes, because there will be so many waffles that Kerry have to lessen his environmental stance just to get enough syrup from trees to put on them.
If Bush wins, we will have four more years of hilarious and completely nonsense sayings such as, "strategery" and "internets." But I can live with that. I'd rather have a president who says something definitive in a slow southern drawl, than one who says nothing at all. When Kerry finally does say something it is usually about the economy. One of his favorite sayings is, "This is the first administration that lost jobs since Herbert Hoover." Check with any economist however, and they will tell you that the current economic situation in America is due to the previous president's term in office. That's the esteemed William Jefferson Clinton, not George W. Bush. So when Kerry brings up how bad the economy is, he is really blaming his own party, and as long as he wants to keep doing it, that's fine with me.
