As much as I would like to re-elect F.D.R. to a 5th term, he is unfortunately unable to complete his 4th due to that fact that he's dead. But I'll have no reservations about supporting John Kerry. Those of you who somehow find it in your hearts & minds to believe George W. Bush deserves another four years - well, go ahead if you think the war in Iraq is just swell, don't mind the profiteering of Haliburton, have no suspicions about why the price of gasoline hasn't been this high since the previous Bush administration, aren't concerned about the Federal Communications Commission (or Clear Channel), & are content with NAFTA & the new Medicare drug plan. Also, if you believe the Environmental Protection Agency is protecting the environment, Dubya is your man. If you're not bothered by the very real possibility that George's stumbling, convoluted use of the English language indicates such stumbling, convoluted thought processes that he needs other people to do his thinking for him, then slap that brand new Bush '94 bumper sticker on your gas guzzler.

If George W. Bush's apparently elemental, simplistic relgious beliefs ring true with you, then pray right along with him in the absurd faith that every patriotic American & trustworthy friend of these United States indeed does worship the same granite Supreme Deity of American Money In Whom We Trust. (John Wesley, founder of Methodism, insisted that reason was a crucial test of the Christian experience, along with scripture, tradition & experience, & if you're a Roman Catholic Bushite, please revisit Thomas Aquinas or at least Pope John XXIII).

Note the high Coalition casualties this past week. That's in Iraq, not Afghanistan, where the Taliban are re-gaining control of large areas & cruel tribal warlords run most of the rest & the opium poppy is the cash crop of choice. l
