Certainly not four years of messed mixages.

We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?

I just wish there was another choice. I have little confidence in GB
and less in the JFK wanna-be. I suppose GB could hire Kerry as a speech
writer, given that Kerry says the same thing Bush does in a more
articulate way.

That you still have any ocnfidence in Bush is astonishing. Bush has
pooched everything he has touched.

Eisboch,
This might be the worst choice we have ever had. Why is it that the cream
of the crop or the best of the best become the candidate for each party? It
seems that the extreme of either party get the volunteers out in mass, and
they control the primaries which leave the vast majority of the voters going
WTF.

We get the democracy *we* deserve. It seems to me, we don't get the
chance to choose our candidates, they are appointed. IMHO, the two party
system is overrated. I became excited about Perot's candidacy, not
because I thought he would be a good President, but because he could send
a message to the two parties that they weren't doing their job of
representing us. Much has been said about the American non-voter, perhaps
they are voting, none of the above.

I'm beginning to admire the British parliamentary system.

I'm not sure it's our system or us. Our forefathers warned of the tyranny
of a party system. We have allowed our politicians to serve their "party"
rather than serve us. It is our own fault. In any event, I wouldn't
change the system. It has provided a heritage and stability that has
carried us through trying times. The benefits of that continuity can not
be disregarded.

I've been wondering if it isn't time to amend the constitution. Give the POTUS
a single, six-year term and then he's outa there.
The VP could succeed him.

What a refreshing change it would be to have a president dong his best to live
up to his campaign promises during his term, rather than barely getting
anything off the ground in the first four years so we feel like we are
compelled to send him back for a second four so he can finish up. Imagine,
a president spending six years administering the executive branch instead of
four years "running" for reelection.

The problem is that 75% of the country is disenfranchised from the
process. The candidate that does the best in Iowa and New Hampster
going into Super Tuesday wins it all - and has since the introduction
of this system.

There is no say any more. Take this election. Three states are
destined to elect the President - about 9% of the total voting
population - if that.

Which is exactly the way the two major parties want it. That way they
don't have to work hard. They want as small a grouping as possible.

Is it going to change? Not a chance. You think this election is
partisian? Just wait until Billary runs in 2008. You ain't seen
nuttin' yet.

And that is the one that will either destroy the country or make it
better.

You heard it hear first. :)

Take care.
