ratings without the pretty graph.

If I were just a little more cynical, I would be thinking the Republican
Party should be telling you to vote for Kerry. Another Bush
administration, has the potential to destroy the Republican Party, a la
Nixon's Watergate. It took Ronald Reagan to re-vitalize the Republicans,
and I don't see any Reagans in the immediate future, Arnold included.

An interesting look at Bush's approval ratings:

Bush votes with his heart and his convictions, but I think he is too easily
swayed by those around him, and does not have the intellect to understand
the nuances involved.

Kerry might be intelligent, but he is a whore would sell his own mother if
it would get a vote. The fact that Kerry came home and rallied against the
war in VN does not bother me, no one in their right mind thought that we
were going to do anything, but find a face saving way out of it. It was
obvious that NVN was going to overrun SVN from about 1970 on.

John,
My problem is trying to decide who sucks worse. To be honest, at his

I think Kerry's as president with a majority republican house and senate
might be the best solution.

I have often thought that way myself, but my problem with Senator
Kerry is a lot deeper that I originally thought. I just can't get
past some issues that really annoy me and have had since his early
days in MA politics.

And I don't like President Bush and what he's done to the educational
system in this country among other things.

What to do - what to do....

Take care.

Kerry evokes a very negative visceral reaction in me. Jane Fonda did
too. I really believe that Kerry will say or do anything which he
considers will garner a vote from his audience. I don't believe Bush
is that dishonest.

It is not that he doesn't have the intellect to understand the

Kerry is a arrogant socialist liebral that seeks power. Why didn't he
resign his Senate seat to run for prez?

It's more personal than that. One has to do with John Edwards who I
think is as evil a person as ever existed on this planet. The other
has to do with Senator Kerry himself. The third deals with both of
them and their personal moral "convictions".

As to the President and his cohorts - I'm totally disgusted.

I believe their moral convictions changed depending upon what will either
make them money or get them votes. Kerry jumped on Edwards bandwagon
because he hoped it would get him a few swing states. They really don't
have any personal moral convictions, which is what I meant by "Kerry would
sell his mother if he would help him".

I agree with your dad, but...

I guess I'd rather have the trouble I know than risk the trouble I
don't.

Unlikely that it would make things worse. :-)

Gould,
Your father is correct, both candidates suck. Bush sucks, but you forgot
that Kerry sucks just as bad.



Reportedly seen on a bumper sticker:

Kerry, '04 He sucks less. :-)

Frick or Frack which one to vote for.

I wouldn't limit that comment to the last two elections. Our candidates
don't seem to be selected, they seem to be appointed. In a country of 250
million, is this the best we can do? But then, in a democracy, we get the
government we deserve.
