Thank you Francis, there are thousands of arguments against Bush, and
thousands for him. It is up to every American to vote this year, it is
critical on either side, because even though Martin posted the majority of
Americans support Bush, the last 6 months poll numbers blow that out of the
water.
This will be the closest presidential race in history. So every vote counts,
whichever side you are on, and anyone who does not vote, should keep their
mouths shut.
As a man who travels every month to other parts of the world, (something the
Bush administration has made extremely difficult for Americans) I see the
reality, the hatred that the rest of the world has for us. You would think
by watching Fox news, that the world supports us, you would be wrong. I feel
like we will soon be living in a prison, trying to protect ourselves from
the "freedom haters". What a crock of shit.

Watch this hilarious (but oh so true) flash video. It cracks me up.

I also think that the rest of the world is watching this election more than
ever. I was in Australia only a 2 weeks ago and all anyone wanted to know
was how the election was going.
