sp- there's too many people in this country who want a leader or a father figure for their president. i don't need a damn leader, i already know my desired destination and what it takes to get there... i need a good employee with TALENT and if she can't cut it or doesn't show promise for improvement, she's fired and the next person gets a shot at it! duh. -duhsty

Edwards: Iraq War Created Terror Haven By KATHARINE WEBSTER, Associated Press Writer WINDHAM, N.H. - Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards (news - web sites) on Tuesday accused President Bush (news - web sites) of failing the United States and the world in Iraq (news - web sites), citing unsecured nuclear weapons abroad and unprotected ports at home as further evidence of the president's "incompetence." "He's created something that didn't exist before the war in Iraq — he's created a haven for terrorists," Edwards said. Contending that Bush gave in to chemical industry lobbyists by not requiring greater security against terrorist attacks at the nation's chemical plants, Edwards said Bush has not secured "loose" nuclear weapons in other countries and has failed to protect airports and ports in the United States. "This is not leadership — this is incompetence," Edwards said. Bush is scaring people about terrorism and the war in Iraq to get people to vote against Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites), Edwards said. "While they campaign on fear, we're going to talk about the facts," Edwards told about 500 supporters. "John Kerry and I are going to unite this country so we can win the war against terrorism." Edwards outlined the Democratic ticket's plan for helping the middle class, which includes expanding and making permanent several tax cuts and deductions for people making less than $200,000 per year while eliminating tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. He blamed Bush for failing to create good-paying jobs. "George Bush (news - web sites) is completely out of touch with what's happening in people's lives," Edwards said. "You can't stand over and over with the big HMOs, the big drug companies, the big oil companies and the Saudi royal family and still stand with the American people." ___
