Would those posting messages about Kerry's record over the last thrity years please have a think about what Bush's record has been over the last four?
Bush's record:
- First military attack on US soil in XXX(how many?) years by foreigners.
- Refusal to sign or negotiate on internationally agreed environmental treaty - Kyoto
- Human Rights of foreign nationals - Guantanomo Bay
- Human Rights of Americans - PATRIOT Act
- Lying to get in to war - "weapon of mass destructions" which, if Saddam did have, Bush's dad probably sold to him. And Saddam did not have them.
- Economics - turning the biggest surplus in history into the biggest deficit.
- Lack of ability to interpret world events - "Mission Accomplished"
- Failure to sign Nuclear Test Ban Treaty - WMD issues, anyone?
- Tax cut aimed at Millionaires
- Enron
- Cheney / Halliburton
- Florida votes scandal
- Intelligence Failures - 9/11, WMD, etc.
- Military Failures - OBL, Iraq, 9/11
- Failure to plan for peace - Iraq, Afghanistan
- Connections to enemies - Bush's ties with the House of Saud belies the fact that most of the 9/11 highjackers were Saudi
If you made a caricature of a corrupt, incompetent right wing politician, bush would be it.
Before the election in 2000, the worst that was thrown at him was that he was a former drunk driver, a dry drunk and he was the "Tex-ecutioner"
How can he be considered viable as president again?
