The future probably of both the election and the country

RUSSELL BAKER Leesburg, Virginia

Bush is a willful man of possibly dangerous simplicities, Kerry a man of many complications.

Years ago I heard Morris Udall, a liberal Democrat from Arizona, say that the same people who voted for Barry Goldwater, then the voice of conservatives, also voted for him because Arizonans liked candidates who told them, plain and outright, who they were and what they stood for.

Kerry is the most liberal U.S. senator. Moreso than Hillary Clinton or Ted Kennedy, according to the National Journal, a non-partisan weekly political mag.

The sooner Bush and his incompetent administration are history...

...the better off this country and the rest of the world will be.

I simply cannot understand the motivation of the partisans who want to continue this incredibly incompetent and counterproductive man in office. They must either loathe our country...or they must loathe the world.

cjhsa, with all due respect, you can despise Kerry all you want, but do you really swallow that BS about him being the most liberal US senator? More so than Kennedy? C'mon now. More so than Pat Leahy?

According to the non-partisan National Journal he is.

I received a copy of this article from a friend via email:

"Without A Doubt" by Ron Suskind, NY Times magazine cover story, October 17, 2004



Has anyone seen this? I cannot seem to post a link or copy the article from the email, as it's in Adobe. (Sorry, I'm very techie-challenged.)

If anyone had any doubt as to what's at stake for America in this election, this article should clear it all up.
