If someone choices to delete this, it's cool, I was bored and thought it'd be a interesting topic.

I don't think Kerry was necessarily that much better, just different; it was mostly just a choice between which set of interest groups you want to have the White House in their pocket. I think the advantage of having elected Kerry would have been that, with the opposition party in control of both houses of Congress, Kerry would have had a harder time ramming through pet legislation. | |
Trying to chose the better of two evils. I think it's really hard to say who would have done better. We've only experienced what Bush has done now.

Oh god! Politics on the forums! Run away! Passing a bill that extends term limitations for presidents so they can run three or four or more times would allow him to run again in 2008. I doubt such a thing would happen, but you never know. | |

If you'd prefer a situation where we were pulling ourselves out of Iraq and just leaving that region to its own devices, then you'd be better off with Kerry. As he has made clear, he considers the Iraqi election illegitimate and he'd have worked to have good relations with the various dictators in the area. For some, it would be better to let the region continue as it was before, as long as we're not involved. If you prefer a situation where, at risk to American and other lives and at risk of failure, we push forward to attempt to infuse democracy in that area of the world, then Bush is better. That's assuming foreign policy is what matters to you. If domestic policy is what matters, it's much harder to say. Each party is better and worse in various areas. | |

Personally, I don't really care. Most of what he's doing hasn't affected me so far, so I'm not that worried. But just think of this, he won't be back in 08.
