It's sad for voters in any country to be faced with the 'lesser of two evils' dilemma.  

I dislike Tony Blair and everything he has turned the Labour party into but I couldn't vote for the Conservatives.  I feel sad I'd be using my vote to vote against a party rather than for a party I believe will be good for the people of the UK.

Here is a link I came across which seems to have put some truth to many of the lies that have been told in recent months regarding our  less than desirable candidates for the next 4 years.

I guess that once again, this election boils down to the lesser of 2 evils.
It is sad that in this great country of ours, we cannot find someone that is Presidential. I suppose the problem is that the office pays less than what the candidates have to spend on campaigning to get the office.

It seems that in a Christian culture, the politics always breaks down into the harder-line Christians and fellow travelers, or the doubtful, skeptical Christians and everyone else.  Britain and the US break down the same way.  It starts with the individuals' moral perspective, and follows different political permutations to the conclusion.

Therefore, you have George W. who stands for "moral rectitude" and "traditional values" and other such platitudes, and Kerry who stands for... who knows?  Perhaps anything not that.  A pretty dull wild card.

I had come across that web site some time ago, and in the midst of the misrepresentations that are spouted on both sides of the political spectrum it is truly refreshing to have a place to go that tries to present analytical evidence on what is really said.

Without a doubt, this election is not going to be about statesmanship.  The spin doctors are working overtime.

Doing this is the essence of the political process -- giving a little to get a little.   My "ideal" candidate would lose a general election.  Probably, so would yours.  Most democrats seem to recognize this in the current election cycle "anybody but Bush" often means that they would prefer Dean, Edwards, ...

I see this as settling for a less than perfect President. It happens every day with the products we are forced to buy. Sometimes it isn't the product at all, but the service we are subjected to endure in order to get the end product.

Hmmm, I just had a thought, perhaps that is what is wrong with consumer confidence? People are tired of settling, getting poor customer service. Buying a new product should alleviate headaches,  not compound them. It seems as though nearly everything I buy nowadays I have to spend the first few months getting it serviced or analyzed in order for it to work properly.

It revealed more about the shallowness of "llcar" than he probably realizes.

I don't appologize for my contempt of Reagan and his cronies.  However, I am tired of bickering.

Take care.
