The Independent Weekly: With trembling fingers:
Nothing and no one can stop these people except you and me, and the other 100 million or so American citizens who may vote in the November election. This isn't your conventional election, the usual dim-witted, media-managed Mister America contest where candidates vie for charm and style points and hire image coaches to help them act more confident and presidential. This is a referendum on what is arguably the most dismal performance by any incumbent president--and inarguably the biggest mistake. This is a referendum on George W. Bush, arguably the worst thing that has happened to the United States of America since the invention of the cathode ray tube.
One problem with this referendum is that the case against George Bush is much too strong. Just to spell it out is to sound like a bitter partisan. I sit here on the 67th birthday of Saddam Hussein facing a haystack of incriminating evidence that comes almost to my armpit. What matters most, what signifies? Journalists used to look for the smoking gun, but this time we have the cannons of Waterloo, we have Gettysburg and Sevastopol, we have enough gun smoke to cause asthma in heaven. I'm overwhelmed.
that's been my problem recently. just to spell out what bush has factually done is to sound like a raving nutjob-- and that's not even going into what i am afraid he is trying to do, the possible reasons behind some of it.

Oooo... my first comment and everything.
That particular article fired me up to post to my own blog. Unfortunately what we'll need in the United States is a smoking gun that even rabid bushites in the boonies have to admit is a smoking gun in the wrong hand pointed at the wrong people. For some people, myself unfortunately included, voting NOT on party lines takes great reason. Especially for something as important as President. This is why I get involved in the nomination process, as that get the right candidate in the column I'll vote for.
While Bush Jr. isn't the worst president we've ever had, he IS the worst since the CRT. That does include Nixon. Nixon at least did some nice things for the economy, even if he was a crook (my mom wants, "I was right about Nixon," on her gravestone). Bush hasn't done much of anything but, in the words of Molly Ivans:
[...]On the minus side, we have encouraged anti-American terrorists everywhere, put ourselves at greater risk of terrorist attack, lost enormous amounts of good will around the world, earned the resentment of many of our closest allies and cost ourselves around $200 billion that we really could have used for more constructive projects.Hardly a rousing endorsement for the "Leader of the Free World". Ahem.
