The major difference I saw between the two candidates this election is that one of them sidestepped more deviously. "Who is less blatant in their evasions" is not a good criteria for picking Presidents, in my opinion. So please don't tar every person who disagrees with your political stance with the same brush. I know a number of liberals who I want to beg to please not be on my side, and a number of conservatives who I rather like and respect. The people I am most disappointed in are the liberals who are throwing temper tantrums (like this one!) today.


Here's the thing, though: We know Bush's policies. We know,based on the last four years, that they don't work. We know he's only going to get worse once he isn't worrying about popularity. Kerry, at least, promises a change, and based on the last Democratic president, we have some idea of how effective those changes are. I think I'm justified in saying that the (slightly over) half of the country that voted for Bush did so knowing this, and that really, really upsets me.
