The bush Administration is by far the worst administration since the days of Herbert Hoover or Warren Harding, while there may some mistruths in the books by Woodward, Clarke and O'neil they all cannot be liars as this administration claims they are. If you watched Bush last week on national tv trying to address the press in the q and a crossfire he looked like a man caught in a the bright lights of a car, the answers he gave were mumble jumble and made no sense, only the myopic would say that they were impressed with his appearance such as Rush Limbaugh (who knows maybe he was high), but even hard core Republicans were not impressed as Luger said that Bush did nothing to help the cause with his speech. I really dont see how anyone could give this guy four more years but I really dont antipate this to be even a close race as I highly doubt Kerry will be able to do better then Gore and the amount of money Bush has to spend is just staggering, so the best thing for the country is to vote dem's or ind into the senate and house to keep Bush in check. If this doe not happen then in the final four years you are going to see Bush with the help of cong and the senate pass far reaching right wing religious laws that will severely curtail American's freedoms and he will continue to pursue legislation that favors the top 2% of the earners in the country. My biggest fear is to allow this guy to push through religous right wing agenda pieces, I dont know about anyone else but I have enjoyed the freedoms that our forefathers have died for and I do not want to squander them for once they are lost they will be difficult to ever get back and the religious right wing wants to take these rights away from you. In summary, while I feel that this administration is inept and I even long for the days of the Clinton or Reagan administrations as average is better than inept, but it is imperative that americans support the dem's or ind in the senate and house races this year to keep Bush in check for the next four years. The presidential race IMO is a lost cause as Bush will beat Kerry quite easily due to: 1) huge financial advantage, 2) incumbancy, 3) lack of character and leadership skills of Kerry and 4) fear of terrorism.
