Even worse: the Bush supporters will tell you that you are unpatriotic, a moron & etc.

I agree. The fact that bin laden is alive and well is proof that Bush is inept to be our comander-in-chief.

Bush is a total failure.

In a media conference call, the Kerry campaign gave these eye-opening stats regarding advertising in Ohio and Florida in the stretch run to the election:

Ohio
Kerry: 18,000 points
Bush: 13,000 points

Florida
Kerry: 17,000 points
Bush: 12,000 points

Even after accounting for party and 527 advertising, the good guys retain a 4-5,000 point lead in advertising over the evil empire.

In other words, more Kerry ads are running than Bush ads, at over a 4-3 ratio. How did this happen?

The Kerry campaign was faced with a dilemma this summer. Both campaigns had an equal amount of money to spend in the race, but Democrats had to stretch it out for 13 weeks, the GOP over 8.

So Kerry went dark in August and conserved his resources for the final weeks of the campaign. Bush, on the other hand, went nuclear on Kerry after his convention. The Kerry campaign concedes that Bush got a post-convention bump, but they attribute the surge more to the massive Bush media blitz than to the convention itself.

Now, in the final hours of the game, the Kerry campaign has more money to saturate battleground states than Bush does, and with the numbers trending in our direction, it looks like the gamble (and it was a gamble) should pay off.

<They give him credit for the mess we're in> .....

.......... Now I get it! Bush is a genius!

You simply have to be a genius to create a mess as big as the one Bush has created and still be in the running for reelection.

I am astounded that the jerk even had the audacity to run for reelection. That the American electorate is considering his reelection seriously makes me question its sanity and intelligence.

The neo-cons ability to manipulate public opinion is disturbing. I really see it as the rise of fascism. When I see all those American flags waving these days, I recall the "Love It or Leave It" days of the 1960s.

The destruction of civil liberties, attempts to disrupt the electoral process, unwarranted militarism, and "leadership" by devout anti-intellectuals. These are the seeds of fascism.

This election is too close for comfort. We are seeing the rise of fascism.

I gotta get out of this place.
