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.
No, we just fear John the flip flopper. Talk about counterproductive....

Well try to get over it...or the next four years are gonna be miserable for you.
Frank, I strongly suspect I will become a closet criminal if JoKer is elected.

Not really sure what that means...but start cleaning out the closet, cj...because Kerry is gonna win!
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.
