too political here, but where did this data come from that Bush outspent Kerry
3-1? I don't believe it and I think it's a hollow excuse for a somewhat
embarassing loss. There were hundreds of rich Hollywood elite and wealthy
eccentrics who gave millions of dollars to Kerry and other Democratic
candidates---and websites like "Move On" collecting millions more from younger
and some older radical voters to unseat Bush. Movies made about how terrible
Bush is and how dumb he is----comics embracing Kerry and dumping on Bush. In
the end, don't try to tell me that Bush spent more money and that's why he won.
The truth is, people looked at the candidates and evaulated their stands on the
issues and their credibility. Voters all across the country felt that Bush was
the better man to lead. Don't try to tell me a handful in Ohio decided the
election. Look at the map---you'll find that concentrated clusters in urban
areas on the coasts voted for Kerry and pretty much the rest of America voted
for Bush. That's not the "rich elite" deciding, that's most of America.
Finally, I'm not even a big fan of Bush but what I saw in Kerry was a B.S.
artist and the quintessential Monday morning quarterback who thinks he knows
what's best for everyone. When the Democrats settle on a middle of the road,
moderate, measured, rational nominee, they'll win a national election. When
they turn the party back over to guys like Scoop Jackson, Morris Udall and Sam
Nunn, they'll get Democratic and Republican votes. Until then, they'll continue
to lose every time. |

Bush will not be able to do is pass the buck if things don't improve. His party
controls both the house and the senate and they control the White House and the
"Buck" stops at his desk.What is Bush going to do when he can't blame
Clinton for everything?The big spending Republicans, they have
controlled the House, who allocates the money, for the last four years, as well
as the presidency. Yet even after they took office with a budget surplus in
2001, they have spent us into record breaking debt.Some of the blame for
all of the spending is because of 911 and because we went to war but it is
possible to fight a war, in this case Vietnam, and still spend within our
limits, the last time the U.S. government had a budget surplus before 2001 was
in 1969 when Democrat Lyndon Johnson left the presidency.I am not making
a comment about either war being good or bad as I am just talking about
government spending as even though the democrats are labled as being big
spenders of our tax dollars, the republicans are often the ones who do the
spending. The facts bare it out, look them up.By the way, I am a
democrat but I didn't vote for Kerry.|

the Afghan war, and then the Iraq war. Given that the war on terror only began
six months into his presidency, it is surprising that the deficit is not far
worse.Gerry accuses republicans he does not identify of being
responsible for safety breaches in boxing. Who are these dreadful men and did
they do it because they are republicans ? What has the alleged complexion of
their politics got to do with boxing ?Charles Manson is a democrat, and
so are all those guys on Queer Eye (Gerry's favourite show)but has that got
anything to do with Kerry or the democrats ? Same thing with Don King. So what
that he is smart and voted for Bush because he knew he was better. That's got
nothing to do with boxing. Kent - you say that the buck stops with Bush.
Correct. However, it seems that you are pre-empting failure trying to appease
Comrade Gerry, rather than sticking to events thus far. Judge him on the past,
not a predicted dreadful future that types like Gerry hopes for simply to
justify his political stance and say "I told you so".Also, is big
business only with Bush ? Kerry is filthy rich as well, given his marriage to
Mrs Baked Beans. And what about Edwards ? He made squillions chasing ambulances
