Not, 'We believe John Kerry is the right man for the job'. :?

Unfortunately, that's how I feel.
But it's not W that I'm against... it's the corperate oil industry that pulls his strings that I'm bothered by. Ever since they failed to achieve their little reorganization of the middle east back in 91/92, they've been chomping at the bit to get "their guy" back in power. The 1st Bush was smart enough, or didn't have enough power on the Hill, to not go through with the take-over of Iraq.
But once W got into power, and the Republicans got control of the House, well, they've just gone off the deep-end. The current administration has next to zero grasp of foreign relations... they really are justifying the reputation that the US has of being an international bully. And the worst part of it is that they're using the terrorists attacks as a justification.
I don't know that Kerry or the Democrats will do any better, but I can't imagine they can do much worse. The Bush administration has proven to me over the last 4 years that they can't handle our business properly overseas and has gotten us into a world of shit in the Middle East. It's going to take generations to unbury us from the economic and reputation hole we've dug ourselves in the last four years, and I'm certainly not willing to vote for 4 more years of the same.
Say what you will about terrorism and Iraq, about how bad it was before Bush, or due to Clinton, but it's even worse because of the Bush administration.
