political agenda is getting set by the right wing of the Republican
party and the Democrats run around trying to prove they are ot
"liberal."
I was thinking the other day that I really don't know how to register
when the time comes. I really do feel condescended to by the Democrats
("oh, you are a single mom? let me tell you about our welfare policy")
yet the antiBush=unpatriotic crap the Republicans are spouting really
turns me off too. And in a lot of states Independents can't vote in
the primaries. Have to find out if NM is one of them.
As for the current election, I feel that given the harm done to the
Constitution Bush has got to go. If he is re-elected you can kiss the
first and fourth amendments byebye because he will be like Reagan; he
will take it as a mandate.

Sad, isn't it where one's decision is choosing between the lesser of two
evils. I was sailing with a good friend of mine, fellow staunch republican.
Our consensus was that Bush was the Devil we know versus Kerry, who has been
entirely undistinguished in Congress. We have both been disappointed in
Bush's excessive spending and the way he threw in the kitchen sink while
justifying invading Iraq. However, given Kerry's record, we didn't believe
that he could become a leader even if he believed what he said since he has
shown no history of leadership in government. The greatest nation on earth
and 0 in the leadership category.
He made an interesting comment, that I wouldn't have expected from him. We
need a third party to add balance. The far right and far left have taken
ownership of each party and the soft-spoken middle is left without a voice.
Thoughts?
Andy

maybe people are listening. Got into a political discussion with an
elderly Hispanic couple in the line at the bank, and they were gotting
for Kerry based on the deficit. They weren't really sure that Kerry
was any better but were going with the evil they did not
know.________________________________
