It isn't my objective right now, because I don't know who Bush's competition is in 04, but I think if you want to see Bush overturned you should focus on the key issues which is deficit vs. jobs, second being these wars which also relate to jobs, and avoid the peripheral stuff like homophobia and gay marriage.

I noticed the other day Bush was asked about the economy, he answered with a sort of timeline about the recession and how jobs are the last thing to recover, blah blah. Of course we know there are much more severe issues this time with jobs than just your avg recession. Bush avoids that topic. Then he quickly changes the subject to gay marriage, where he actually does have support especially in the bible belt for his position.

I say, get off these peripheral social issues and force the political debate to jobs and how to make the american worker competitive. Bush spent us into a tailspin wrt the deficit so we can't do anything about the payroll tax situation imho.
