Well, the Bush "supporters" I've met aren't normally so sure. They'll kind of hem and haw, or saw "Well, he's got advisors...", or "Well, Kerry ain't any better." Once in a while they'll point to Buh's believability or decisiveness, but I've never seen anyone (besides Mr Donald) attempt the role of super-apolegist for anything the current regime has done.
What percentage of Kerry supporters are supporters, and not just an anti-Bush vote?
Oddly, when I see Bush speak, I actually in a weird way kind of like him. Or at least, I believe that he believes in what he's doing. Don't get me wrong now: he's completely wrong, and a wan smile would cross my lips if his meeting with Jesus were hastened quite a bit.
This is my point. He hasn't done *everything* wrong, yet given the shrill denouncements from both sides, you'd think that both the candidates were complete morons. I'd think there would be some measured discussion on this list, but its the same slogans spewed out. Do you really think Kerry wouldnt have signed the Patriot Act if he was president? Federalized the drivers license requirements? Pushed for socialized medicine with central controls? Kerry or Bush, Kang or Kodos, in the end it means the same thing. -- Pete Capelli pcapelli@ieee.org http://www.capelli.org PGP Key ID:0x829263B6 "Those who would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety" - Benjamin Franklin, 1759
