Amos:

Point conceded but as I said before, I was not against Kerry at the beginning of this campaign but as time went on and he started being so negative on Bush that it turned me against Kerry, not toward Bush but away from Kerry. It has even cause Bush to act up and attack Kerry and make an ass out of himself.

Maybe Kerry is a victim of the political jihadists that are hell bent to get him elected and keep feeding him this stuff that make him seem like an arrogant asshole. Maybe he is better than he is sounding but he is polarizing people and making them more extreme in their positions, not necessarily winning them over.

Look at you and me Neither of us have or will change our positions, we just get more bitter.

At the heart of this matter is the two party political system and the money that fuels it.

We need to elect someone that has the guts to start a trend to eliminate it. Then we can vote for whom we like and people in Congress can vote for bill strictly on their merit, without pressure from the party or lobbyists.

I don't know how we have lasted this long. It looks like this election will create a new definition of politics, a new level of hostilities and money wasting.

The only two possibly non partisan people I see on the horizon are Lieberman and McCain.

If Bush wins I say get one or the other to cross over to the other party and run them in 08. They won't stand a chance against the two party machine if they try to go independent. Maybe McCain would go democratic if he could run as Pres and Leiberman as VP.

If Kerry wins they would have to run Republican.

Something has to be done or there will be anarchy and a revolution of some sort.
