Time to talk politics

Most of my posts are the "Seinfeld"-eque type observations on everyday life or things that happen to me.

Well, today, I want to try my hand at some light political commentary.

Even though I don't think Kerry is the ideal presidential candidate (and Edwards definitely makes the package more palatable), I think he is definitely better than the vacuous alternative and incumbent. I am at best frightened that Bush might win the presidency again, continuing on his path of destroying all semblance of international cooperation and thus alienating our allies, provoking governments like North Korea toward drastic action, and systematically destroying domestic institutions like public education and social security.

It confounds me that any sort of majority can possibly think Bush is doing a good job as president, even as he erodes our personal liberties (which, I believe the Republicans believe in?? Less government involvement?). Not to mention - even though he's simply a puppet for his father's big-oil interests and Vice President Cheney, he is easily the least eloquent, and, despite being educated at Yale and Harvard, appears to be the poorest educated president in recent memory. That alone should alarm people. You want a president you feel is smarter than you.

In lieu of a concluding statement, all I will say is I hope I don't lose it if Bush wins.
