"A new poll says that if the election were held today, John Kerry would beat President Bush by a double digit margin. The White House is so worried about this, they're now thinking of moving up the capture of Osama Bin Laden to next month." -- Jay Leno

"President Bush says he has just one question for the American voters, 'Is the rich person you're working for better off now than they were four years ago?'" -- Jay Leno

"There was a scare in Washington when a man climbed over the White House wall and was arrested. This marks the first time a person has gotten into The White House unlawfully since President Bush." -- David Letterman

"President Bush said he was 'troubled' by gay people getting married in San Francisco. He said on important issues like this the people should make the decision, not judges. Unless of course we're choosing a president, then he prefers judges." -- Jay Leno

"This week, both John Kerry and Wesley Clark are making campaign appearance with the guys who saved their lives in Vietnam. Meanwhile, President Bush is campaigning with a guy that once took a math test for him." -- Conan O'Brien

"As you know President Bush gave his State of the Union Address, interrupted 70 times by applause and 45 times by really big words." -- Jay Leno

"The new Prime Minister of Spain has called the war in Iraq a disaster, and plans to bring his troops home as soon as possible. In fact, President Bush is so upset at Spain that he is now threatening to close down the border between Spain and the US." -- Jay Leno

"The White House has now released military documents they say prove George Bush met his requirements for the National Guard. Big deal, we've got documents that prove Al Gore won the election." -- Jay Leno

please tell me you're not voting for Kerry (the man who wants to "put the courts back on the side of women" - as if they weren't unbalanced enough already).

[Brent]

I'm voting on the ABB ticket- "Anybody But Bush". I'd vote for Satan over Bush, but he isn't running.

Do I think Kerry is any good? Nope, he's slime just like Bush, but I just can't take four more years of George Bush Jr.  Hell, I'd vote for Idi Amin over Bush, except he's dead.

Nader =  Loser.
Kerry  =  Loser.
Bush =  Loser.

Of the 3, Bush is the worst by far.

........None Of The Above on the ballot.  It chaps my hide to vote for the lesser of two evils, and if we had NOTA, and it got the majority vote, they'd have to scrap the candidates and get someone in there whom the public WOULD vote for.

Definitely, Kitty. You got it. I have been preaching this for years.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression!

Brent, I usually agree with most of what you post for us but, once more, this country is faced with some very difficult choices. Please check out the link below. I got it in my email this morning. Sure made me think.

Like I said, I don't think Kerry is necessarily any better than Bush, but at least I know how bad Bush is. He's put this country into the toilet, and his cronies are stealing everything that isn't nailed down. We're living in a Kleptocracy, basically.

I'm sure Kerry is a slimeball, because EVERYONE who gets to the position of running for President is a slimeball by definition. I'm sure I'll be complaining about Kerry in a year if he's elected, so don't think for a moment that I admire him or believe he's a good person. I don't. But he's not Bush, and that's what it comes down to this time. Bush is without a doubt the worst President this country has ever had.

[msme]

Okay, i guess we can agree to disagree :-)

You never get a second chance to make a first impression!

I just don't understand what makes Brent think Bush is so bad. I'd like some concrete examples of exactly what Bush has done to make him have such a strident stance. I hope to God that Kerry doesn't get elected, if he does, Socialism is sure to follow, and we'll all be dealing with a world government and world court controlloing our lives. I am not at all keen on that. If kerry gets elected, the first thing I'm gonna do is buy some guns before I can't anymore, and anyone that tries to take them away will be dealt with in the severest of terms! Gun control is only the tip of the iceburg... remember what Hitler did (kerry follows the same logic, just hides it under a blanket of so-called concern)!

>bad.

Well, if you have to ask, I suspect that nothing I could say would suffice. I don't mean to be flip, I'm serious. If you don't understand right now why so many people are anti-Bush, what could I possibly say that would convince you or change your mind? We'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

>I'd like some concrete examples of exactly what Bush has
>done to make him have such a strident stance.

Well, almost everything he's done so far. He's uneducated, he's uncaring, he's a completely ineffective President, he blatantly mixes church and State, and so on. He doesn't even know the meaning of "sovernity". Did you see the clip on MSNBC where he tried to explain what "sovernity" meant? Watch that clip and tell me he should be President.

Finally, is there ANYONE that thinks George Jr. would be President if his daddy hadn't been? No one I know can answer "yes" to that question with a straight face- and I bet you can't either.

Clinton had IMPECCABLE public morals, but very questionable private ones.

BUT Bush is the exact opposite, very impeccable private morals but despicable public ones.

Personally, I want my pres. to have impeccable PUBLIC morals.  And if his private morals are questionable, the court of social opinion does quite well in exposing it and publicly condemning it.  BUT every pres. to this date who has had personal skeletons has NEVER allowed that to hinder their ability to run this nation effectively.

It all boils down to the combination of character and ability.  Heck, even the antics of his daughters proves that the apples don't fall from the tree.

But this is ALL JMO...................
