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.

CT,
of course, I have no credible yardstick to make those measurements.
there are signs that Kerry will not abandon the course set out for this nation by the PNAC, but there is reason to believe that his approach will be vastly different from the Bush agenda.

granted, the priorities of this nation are NOT changing, but certainly those priorities may be achieved by many other means.

it is important to differentiate and judge character by the previous demonstration of same.
though Welles is bound and determined that Kerry is the same as Bush, i believe that there have been few credible personal testimonials to character, especially under fire for George.

in this case, better a devil you don't know, than the devil you do.
