Journal leviramsey's Journal: Ten Reasons to Fire Bush 2
Jesse Walker pretty much sums up my view... [apologies to HuSi readers who have already seen this...]
The Democrats have nominated a senator who--just sticking to the points listed above--voted for the war in Iraq, the Patriot Act, McCain-Feingold, and the TSA; who endorses the assault on "indecency"; who thinks the government should be spending even more than it is now. I didn't have room in my top ten for the terrible No Child Left Behind Act, which further centralized control of the country's public schools--but for the record, Kerry voted for that one too. It's far from clear that he'd be any less protectionist than Bush is, and he's also got problems that Bush doesn't have, like his support for stricter gun controls. True, Kerry doesn't owe anything to the religious right, and you can't blame him for the torture at Abu Ghraib. Other than that, he's not much of an improvement.
Yet I find myself hoping the guy wins. Not because I'm sure he'll be better than the current executive, but because the incumbent so richly deserves to be punished at the polls. Making me root for a... blowhard like Kerry isn't the worst thing Bush has done to the country. But it's the offense that I take most personally.

I am a Republican, but I'll be voting for *shudder* Kerry this fall, for the good of the world, the good of the country, and even the good of the Republican party. I can't believe that the lesson of Watergate has been so quickly forgotten: lying is a bad idea.
It may apear that he's getting away with it, sort of, but Nixon seemed to be getting away with it for a while too. Blaiming the CIA is especially stupid, just as blaiming "a few bad apples" for the prisoner abuse after publicly announcing that you
