If you are considering electing our President based on his looks, then you are downright stupid. Mr Crechtian, the former Canadian PM had a facial disability. But the Canadians are smart to look past that into the qualities of the person. So I would hope you would abandon your stupid approach. Now onto the real thing. Do you think Bush is nervous. Do you think that by going on a negative attack as an incumbent reinforces his image that he is a polarizer? Many people tink he is not Presidential the way he is campaigning. Here is some reading. ...contd. from msnbc.msn.com In contrast to those previous runs for office, Bush's reelection campaign has been notable for its quick plunge into attacks on his Democratic rival, Sen. John F. Kerry (Mass.), its defensive tone and the absence of a tight agenda of policy proposals that would animate a second term in office. His first positive ads were modest in describing Bush's accomplishments, and his first negative ad, which began airing Friday, surfaced far earlier than anyone outside his campaign expected. The new tone threatens to rob Bush of his assets from successful past campaigns, according to some strategists. Most prominent is the easygoing personality that helped soften his image and attract swing voters who did not always agree with some of his conservative views; but his three years as president have left the country more polarized in their perceptions of Bush as a leader.

Of course, there are all sorts of regrssive policies engineered by Bush, from higher energy prices to higher deficits, to a massive tax cut for the rich. All designed to help all his wealthy cronies. Isn't America great! George W. Bush is the best thing to ever happen to the wealthy in America. I mean he's taken all the favors ever granted by Nixon/Reagan and his father and accelerated them massively. If you're in the top 5%, vote for Bush. It's in your interest to do so. He's your man. If you're the rest of 95% of working America, you need to vote against Bush like your life depened upon it, because it might. Bush and his Republican cronies have an overarching plan to bring America back to the 19th Century where robber barrons and the wealthy elites ruled everyone else ruthlessly, where working and living conditions were horrendous. If you don't benefit from Bush's plan, don't vote for it.
