Jesus, he talked like a donkey with no brains... Dr. Hunter S. Thompson on this years coup.

That is why George W. Bush is President of the United States, and Al Gore is not. Bush simply wanted it more, and he was willing to demolish anything that got in his way, including the U.S. Supreme Court. It is not by accident that the Bush White House (read: Dick Cheney & Halliburton Inc.) controls all three branches of our federal government today. They are powerful thugs who would far rather die than lose the election in November.

John Kerry For President.

Yes, Kerry is liberal. But what's to fear from a liberal president? That he would run big deficits? That he would increase federal spending? That he would expand the power of the federal government over individuals' lives? Nothing Kerry could do could top what President Bush has already done in those realms.

Kerry is not the stereotypical liberal in any case. According to the "Almanac of American Politics," Kerry is "more respectful of economic free markets" and more inclined to an expansionist foreign policy than other liberal Democrats. He has been a champion of small business. He was an early supporter of the conservative Gramm-Rudman-Hollings deficit-reduction act.

75% of Bush Supporters believe that WMDs were in pre-war Iraq and that Saddam Hussein provided substantial support to al Qaeda.
They are also strong proponents of the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus.

Estropundit: "Watching Chris provide instant analysis of the debates is like watching a serial killer on the couch talk about his daddy."

I don't know what that means, exactly. I don't watch Chris Matthews, but I like the quote.

JOHN EISENHOWER:
Why I will vote for John Kerry for President: The fact is that today’s “Republican” Party is one with which I am totally unfamiliar. To me, the word “Republican” has always been synonymous with the word “responsibility,” which has meant limiting our governmental obligations to those we can afford in human and financial terms. Today’s whopping budget deficit of some $440 billion does not meet that criterion.
