Politics w/ a stranger part 2

I mentioned earlier the email and instant messenger conversation I've been having with my friend's roommate, whom I've never met. Well, she responded a couple of time with....well, nothing:

Hey Seth, Thanks for the email, it made me think about who I really want in office.....and the answer is Kerry!!! I bet you thought I was leading up to the answer you want. Anyways, to answer your question about what I like about Kerry here it is.....I don't believe in what Bush tells the country, and am worried about where this country is going.....I like the fact that w/ Kerry you don't have as many boundries, where as w/ Bush you have more. Anyways, I have to study but email me anytime.

I replied: OK. You've given me one very vague answer as to why you like Bush over Kerry. To that I ask: What are the boundaries that Bush sets and Kerry doesn't? How about all the issues I mentioned before? What about the basic worldviews and ideologies of Bush and Kerry? Does either one ring true or false to you?

She replied: Ok hey are some reasons-
I don't like Bush at ALL!! He seems fake to me, and I don't trust his administration. I mean Kerry is not exactly the perfect candidate for the presidency, but I trust Kerry and Edwards a lot more then Bush
I gotta go-
I am sure I will hear from you again

Oh yes you will! I replied: Those are not reasons; you have only given me negatives on Bush. And even your negatives are vague and subjective. He "seems" fake? How? You don't trust his administration? Why? What makes you trust Kerry and Edwards more than Bush?

Its funny that she says Bush seems fake. Kerry is an absolute fraud if ever there was one.
