My feeling is: we should go from Bush to any person picked at random off the street.
Not a single thing Bush has done during his Presidency has been good for the country, from my point of view. The people pulling his strings are as bad for this country as I could possibly imagine. They could not care less about the country or the people, but only care about raping us for every penny they can get before they are voted out for 4 years. And for forcing the entire country to toe their line (whatever that happens to be). Is Kerry good? Heck no. Is he a self-centered jerk? Of course. I live in Mass, where he is legendary. Did he handle this situation well? No. Could he have handled this any worse? Probably not. But that does not absolve the people lying about what he says from more guilt than he should have. How the heck did we get to the point where our choices are between Kerry and Bush? On 11/5/06, Michael Dinowitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm just Michael Dinowitz.
