Ok, let's be honest. Both Kerry and Bush are fucking terrible. Now, in a country like the US, where education is available to everyone and there are some great intellectuals, how did the Presidential race end up between Bush and Kerry? I mean come on, you're telling me out of 300 million Americans the best qualified is John Kerry and George Bush!?!?I guess the main problem is money, which is unfortunate. It's sad that there are literally millions of people in the US who could make great Presidents and because they don't have the money, they'll never have a shot.And what's the deal with the VPs? Cheney and Edwards are obviously superior to their respective running mates, so how did they end up in the second place position?Just a few thoughts, hope this thread explodes with debate.
Now I'm not too familiar with Kerry's political record as a senator, but he comes across as very Presidential in my eyes. His public speaking is very good and strong. And I feel he's done a fine job clarifying where he stands and I don't see him as a flip flopper. Of course, I'm no political expert.What exactly do you not like about him?
the reason i think edwards isnt the number one demecrat is b/c he is still very young when it comes to a career in politics. He still has to earn his stripes in many peoples eyes. B/C he has moved up the political ladder very fast.

He is just a silver-spooner from birth. I don't know how you don't see him as a flip-flopper.

"everyday kinda guys" don't go to Yale... they don't have their father as president... they don't have their father run the CIA... that's not an "everyday kinda guy"... shit... of the two candidates, Bush is the silver spooner... and the spoon is still in his mouth.
Bush is worth 15 million, Cheney is worth 30 million.On the flip side,Edwards is worth 50 million, and Kerry is worth 1 Billion.
