It's not just some "politics" that are at stake in the US. It is just insanity if the US people allowed Bush to become President for another four years.
If this happens, they will be left a legacy which would be hard to downplay for decades and a financial cost unheard of.
Another current thread on GFY is about currency exchange rates with Canada being low - ya ain't see nothing yet!
No point in "Bush bashing" - it's all been said. The guy should never have been even a candidate in 2000 for the Presidency - he is simply not qualified and provides evidence of this, almost on a daily basis. No leader of any country in the western world is so inadquately equipped to lead as the current US President.
The one "claim of achievement" that *seems* to stand with many folks, is that Bush was a "good Commander-In-Chief" on his "war on terrorism". I can't even consider giving him any credit for this, - simply because he failed to address it, tho the Admin may claim differently.
Despite claims otherwise, there are more terrorists with plans for the US than ever existed before Bush's "war". bin Laden, although symbolic, is free. The myth propogated about "homeland security" is that, a myth. Iraq? The price for that has not been paid yet - and the bill will be high in many ways and last decades. I suspect we are going to see a *real* shock and awe.
This was a disasterous Presidential term for the US - time and the legacy will show how disasterous.
Whether the US people like it or not, the world is watching and waiting to see if there is a wiser judgement in selecting a President. (Forget Kerry, tho he happens to be the other choice - it's not about politics). If it appears another bout of Bush is on the way, - other nations will act appropriately as they have been doing for some time now. None of this is good for anyone, including the US. Let's call it the "not helpful and uncooperative" syndrome.
Get out and vote for *anyone* with some honour and integrity else the odds are, the outlook is going to be kinda bleak! :-)
Good luck folks! Choose wisely... it matters, especially now.
