It's not a matter of party! Oh, Democratic presidents are better on
average. But Bush is an incredibly incompetent president. I've never
seen anything like it. Bush Sr., despite his flaws, was a competent
leader. Reagan was a moron who let himself be misled by sharps from
the business community, but no one can deny that he was a strong
leader and, unlike his successor, a man of personal integrity. Nixon,
of course, was evil, but even he left office with some real
accomplishments under his belt.

There are so many Republicans better suited to run the country than
George W. Bush. The thing that scares me is that the forces that gave
us Bush are still in play, damaging both parties. The Ted Baxter
effect, mostly. Television. The corrupting influence of television
advertising and the right-wing propaganda machine. The primary system,
which has been a failure. The fact that many Americans no longer read
the newspaper and have no source of reasonably unbiased news. The fact
that the "responsible" press is no longer critical enough, and pays
too much attention to the horse race, rather than the issues. Yada.
