No Bush's record does not start with (or end with or contain) letting 9/11 happen.

Running up the deficit is part of his record but it wasn't like Kerry was voting against most of that spending (except the spending he voted against after voting for, or was it the other way around)

Bush didn't lose 1.5 million jobs, nor is Bush not gaining jobs now. The swings of the economy are mostly not the result of the current presidents actions, and in any case the jobs that where lost where lost in the downturn that began at the end of the Clinton administration.

Social Security and Medicate are not fundamentally solvent, nor have they been for decades.

There is no sensible reason to firmly conclude that Bush lied about Iraq and the blundering has been greatly exaggerated. There have been blunders in all of our wars or at least all of our wars of any size, many much worse then any blunders in this one. In any case Kerry doesn't give any different policy. He goes from saying that he would have voted for the war even if he had known that we wouldn't find WMD to saying that it was the wrong war at the wrong time. He says he would do everything different but doesn't specifically say he would do anything of any consequence different. His statements go from one side to the other with a number of them in the vague middle in between.

Also record pollution and only the richest win.

Neither statement is true.

You can have your Bush experience.

Good, because as much as I dislike parts of it, its a lot better then the equivalent from Kerry.
