That was the exact reason I voted for Bush instead of Kerry in 2004. Kerry was/is an elitist a$$hole who thinks he is smarter than everyone else, which suggested that he wasn't going to listen to anyone because he knew better. He could have done even more damage than the goofball he was running against. Bush doesn't realize he served two terms because of who he was running against. The Democrats gave him the White House both times by putting up unelectable candidates. If the Democrats had been able to find a reasonable candidate among their ranks, ANY reasonable candidate, that person would be president today. They were both losers in 2000 They were both losers in 2004 They are going to both be losers in 2008 I'll go out on a limb here and claim they will both be losers in 2012 unless the people put a stop to this insanity. We have a woman who wants to spend us into oblivion, a man who claims to stand for change but whose voting record shows we'll get more of the same, and another Bush. All three actively contributed to many of the problems we now face.

Kerry wasn't great, but he was the better choice. That was as plain as day 4 years ago as it is today I overestimated the intelligence of the populace. Wouldn't be the first time and won't be the last (edit- I'll refrain from following up on any more pol posts here) Subject 55300 Moderated By: scottonstocks -- (Not Moderated) -- Started: 11/1/2004 1:14:39 PM Revision History Have to go and can't continue, but this should be a sample of Wednesday's headlines and stories throughout the country and the world. Even BBC news had commentators expressing the urgency to oust Bush. So Wednesday, we can all rejoice at a fresh beginning. ---------------------------------------------- Unprecedented masses of people lined up well before the polls were opened Tuesday morning, and the parade continued long after the 8 PM closing time. Why? Because the citizens of these United States wanted to be sure that they were heard loud and clear. They will NOT tolerate totalitarian rule in a Democratic state. They will NOT support a madman who opts to place American lives in jeopardy based on distorted truths and reckless fantasy. They will not stand by idly why government frames policies for the betterment of the banking and oil industries and other select businesses, while America's basic needs for a safer and healthier environment are ignored. Yes, the message was sent and now it's time to rebuild. It's time to again work with our allies; current, past, and future, in undoing the atrocities that have been committed in Iraq under the direcion of two dictators. It's time to mend.
