If ya'll think that disliking Bush will make people vote for Kerry/Gore/Clinton/Dean -- well, dream on.


Personally, I don't want to see anyone named in that sentence in the Oval Office, period. That vacuous dichotomy is precisely the problem in American politics today.

But either few people exist in the US who want something else, or they don't like to post much about politics in public. That has been a great disappointment for me since I started this thread. So the forum has become a place for those who are not quite so hard right or hard left (and willing to behave) to exchange views.

In terms of the 2008 elections, if we get something like a Clinton-Frist race, you won't find me expressing much interest either way. Just more of what you outlined above.

Sadly, very few voices on the right are condemning narrowminded partisanship as the root cause of Bush's political tailspin, and a healthy proportion of the anti-Bush crowd are out there gunning for a new progressive leftist crusade that will totally turn off voters like you. Still a big mess in my book.
