Ted, OT Forgetting Bush's political stance for the moment, every instinct in my bones tells me he is not to be trusted. How about going by evidence, rather than instincts. Here is a short summary you may find helpful: washtimes.com Joe

Ted, Ther fact that we could even consider putting Bush in the Whitehouse makes me wonder about what they are putting in the water over here. Anyway, I don't spend much time in the States anymore (because I live in California!) Scumbria

Ted: Re: CNN poll about Bush pulling ahead of Gore. I wouldnt get disheartened over 1 poll.. I've checked other organizations polls, and all that I saw still had Gore and Bush virtually running neck and neck within the margin of error. Look at the CNN poll: they're using what.. 638 people for asking who liked who? Thats a pretty small sampling size in my opinion to be claiming one candidate is pulling ahead of another. EDIT: Its a day or weekend late.. but I wanted to wish all my American friends a Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving.

I was so disturbed, I checked out the poll when I got home to make sure I heard correctly. Forgetting Bush's political stance for the moment, every instinct in my bones tells me he is not to be trusted. Further I don't get that he's that committed to doing a good job. Ted, I think our political opinions and our opinions about the canidates for other reasons may easily effect how much we trust them. I personally would not trust Gore as far as I can throw him. I think I trust Leiberman more then Gore so its not all Democrats or all liberals that I mistrust, but I am more suspicious of them. As for Bush not being commited to doing a good job; why do you think that? He might have a differnt opinion of what a good job is then you do, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to do a good job.

Tejek Re..<<<<They were talking about a CNN poll re Bush vs Gore when I was at the gym today. It was disconcerting, of course, to learn that Bush was pulling ahead since I plan to vote for Gore. <<<<< I know how you feel. Most of the stocks I have boughten lately have gone down instead of up. Its obvious everybody else is nuts.. I just bought them, they have to go up. Re..But what blew me out of the water is that the majority of Americans find Bush more likeable and more believable, especially during the debates. Interestingly enough, they believe Gore is more capable of doing a competent job.<<< That's because Al is an incessant braggart whose number one word is I. The word "WE" doesn't seem to be in his vocabulary. Yes Al probably knows more facts and figures, but figures lie and liars figure. Besides, presidents have hundreds of advisors to look those figures up. It is what you do with those figures that is important, and Bushes proposals make more common sense. . Forgetting Bush's political stance for the moment, every instinct in my bones tells me he is not to be trusted. <<<< And yet you trust Al to put your money in a lock box and never touch it when he is the only one with a key? Never trust any politician with your money, that includes both of them. Further I don't get that he's that committed to doing a good job. And yet that's not how the majority see it.<<<< GW has more of a low key style. Just because he doesn't incessantly brag about himself, doesn't mean he is less committed. Besides, Al's main style is to blame everyone else, (big oil, pharmacueticals, right wing republicans etc.) and people should trust Al's judgement (no school choice, no choice on where you invest your share of SS. no energy plan, no Russian help in Yugoslavia)' as to what is best for you, while GW's plan is to have people rely upon themselves; compromise to get bipartisian support, and quit blaming the other guy. Al's message is fear everyone but him; Gw's message is trust everyone but AL. I like GW's message better.
