Guest Frank:   G. Bush and Don Quixote in the same sentence? Please!!!! Insane was Don Quixote---but on a quest for justice and fairness.   G. Bush---who knows. Other than the interests of the oil folks, his family, and, frankly, his religious fanaticism what is his quest? To lead us into a quagmire that costs innocent lives, makes generations later pay for his mistakes, protect the very wealthy while he acts like "that good ole boy choppin' down the brush on his simple spread"---worth who know how many millions.

Kerry---wealth and all at least has the intellectual capablity of seeing more than one side, listening ( a great attribute--beats bullying) to experts outside his field of expertise, and being nuanced---yes, nuanced. THe Bushies make this seem as dirty a word as "liberal"---which W is now spouting ad naseum---he is making it sound like it is offensive like the N word. It is not. Perhaps one might best look at W and say the terrible C word---what makes one think that a Caring Conservative that only cares for his own and his class interests is any better? WHat makes one think that a shoot from the hip macho attitude beats diplomacy in this new world we live in, after all the advances in communication, science, and such? After 2 World Wars---and one that we should have learned from about being wrong and arrogant. And---losing sight of what this nations stands for.

Poor W ---he still does not know that redemption from all his past errors of drink--smoke---and the rest does not make him Gary Cooper in High Noon---Hallelujah, brother. And Amen. Just the kind of thing W likes to hear.
