The current contest for the Presidency illustrates in ugly detail the decline of effective politics in these United States.
At a time of escalating bloodshed in Iraq, multiple asset bubbles bound to collapse before long, stagnant wages, and huge economic imbalances --the main issue of contention between Bush and Kerry is their military records many years ago -- Bush in the National Guard and Kerry in Vietnam.
A truly DISGUSTING demonstration of political degeneration IMHO.
