"and yet when polled, most of people think that Bush is far more honest than Kerry. So if the honesty is your criteria then Bush would be more logical choice."

that's a valid point. but look a little deeper into the poll that came out 2 days ago. Some 45% of bush supporters still do not know that they did not find WMD and that Saddam had links to Al Queda. (Somebody explain me, how could this be true in a literate nation like US ?) Given their ignorance, is it any wonder that they think Bush is honest ? if I chose to be so ignorant, than Bush would be my logical choice. Unfortunately, I can not do that.

re: But, Bush got his chance and blew it
"now, how many presidents had to deal with 9/11 on top of overheated to record degree economy? He is dealing with it fairly well. There were problems and mistakes but all in all Bush's performance was good...."

Regarding his performance : Did a superb job with war in Afganistan. Did Average to decent job with the economy (it's still not so great, but he inherited a sinking economy). Did great for religious christian groups. Did very bad job for Womens rights, gay/lesbian rights and environment. Did a nightmarish job in Iraq - And thats my biggest gripe. He lied repeatedly and got caught so many times. At the end of the day, instead of fighting Bin Laden, mohammad Omar and Al-Zawahari, we are battling Al-Sadr, baathists and people we dont even know. Got so many american killed due to his lies and got us in this horrible situation. You call this good performance ? Wow, has any republican done anything bad in your views ever ?

re: Iraq need a whole different approach and kerry is more capable to do that than bush.
"now that is a completely idiotic statement. How would you know? Just because kerry said so?"

Lets see, staying is course in a nightmare situation in Iraq is less idiotic than changing the approach ? or do you mean that Bush is more capable than kerry to adopt a different approach ?

And no Kerry doesn't have to tell me Iraq is a mess. Try reading some newspapers and watch some news on TV (except FOX). I assure you reality is not pleasant, but you can handle it (-:
