Isn't it fascinating that a guy like Bush, who was exposed pretty badly last night, stumbled a lot, lost his train of thought, didn't know what to say, is the acting president in the US? I find that fascinating, whether that is his true self or the dumb thing is just an act (which has been suggested), that this persona is what so many people embrace. I struggle to understand this phenomenon.

He might not be the most adept speaker (which he clearly isn't), but he is compassionate person who we elected, and might re-elect, for good reasons. You see we have matters here that must be taken care of. Its not always about the world stage.

Kinda true, but would you support Kerry, who might be a better speaker but will have poorer decisions than Bush's?

Its pretty easy to sit back and critisize someones decision making, on every move they make. In America we call it an "armchair quarterback". Kerry is a flip-flopping piece of shit, who said he is worried about nuclear proliferation...then goes on to say that he would give Iran systems needed for nuclear energy !!! Clinton did the same thing with North Korea, and they didnt use the system for energy let me tell you !!!!

Bush has spent the better part of the last 3 days surveying the hurricane damage, so he wasnt up to par last night...

I agree, he was bad last night,....but at least you know where he stands on issues...

In all honesty, if I had the chance, I would elect Bill Clinton. I thought he was great and he was just a regular huming being.

Sum 41 are Canadian so they probably know nothing... but now that the cool thing is to be anti Bush :rolleyes:
That idiot band made money off this Anti-Bush fad, as they wrote a song for the Rock Against Bush album. :rolleyes:

Certainly better than John Kerry.
May I ask how come Clinton didn't run in the previous elections? Was it because of the Lewinsky situation? Or something else I don't know?

Bill was elected in the 1992 Presidential Election, and re-elected in 1996. Clinton served two full terms in Office, thus he could not run for another election, as stated in the US Constitution.

Here is what a tried and true democrat wants to happen in this election:

(please note: I am a registered republican, so this isn't me. Although I do not vote exclusively republican)


No one in their right mind who is a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat wants John Kerry to win this election.


no way. no how.

Why you ask??

Here's your answer:

















Ready??

























Oh, You're going to love this.





















Hillary Rodham Clinton.




She is the reason why no Democrat really wants John Kerry to win. Why, you ask? Its simple.


Mrs. clinton wasn't deemed ready enough at this point in her political career to put her hat in the ring for the Democratic presidential nomination, and if she did so, and lost in the primary, then her poitical career would have been in serious jeopardy.

I know, what does this have to do with john Kerry.

Well, most democrat insiders want Hillary clinton to be the candidate in 2008, and the only way that can realistically happen is how?


If John Kerry loses the 2004 election.

there is no way on God's green earth that Mrs. clinton can run for that ticket in 2008. Not that she wouldn't win, but it would be the biggest embarassment in the Democrat party since Jimmy Carter if she were to win the nomination for the Democratic ticket while they had a Democrat in the White House.


See the logic?


Sure, the anti-Bush establishment would take Paris Hilton over Bush right now, but Democrats in general, and I've spoken to a whole bunch lately, including my wife's cousin who happens to be a Democratic member of the House of representatives, have stated that they are hoping for Hillary in 2008.
