I see a lot of anti-Bush rhetoric in this forum, and I personally hate Hanoi John and post a lot of anti-Kerry write-ups myself.
When it comes right down to it, it's what we're each looking for in a President.
For me it's:
1. The war on terrorism - while all of the terrorists are sacrificing themselves top prevent a democracy in Iraq - they aren't sacrificing themselves flying more jets into more buildings in the USA.
2. Taxes - call me greedy, b ut I think I do a better job spending my money than the government does. FICA and Medicaire are the only two taxes that I don't begrudge - other than that, the less government we have, the happier I'l;l be.
3. Decisiveness - I want a President who will stay the course - who won't jump to one conclusion and then jump to another, never having done his homework.
4. Administration - I want a President who will surround himself with a host of good people who cover the ideological spectrum - this way I can have the best input from all points of view so that I can make the best decision.
5. Administrators - I want a cabinet that is the best - I want a diplomat who understands war for the State department; I want an Administrator who understands politics and the vagaries of the federal government to run the military; and I want the best that there is for all of the other departments.
6. I want a Nationalist for President! My President must put the interests of the United States above all others. He must recognize that self interest rules all of the governments of the world, and must shape policies to achieve the goals of the US while attracting as many allies as possible.
7. I want a man of honor and moral integrity. Did this man learn from past mistakes, or will he repeat his errors?
GW Bush ain't my idea of the best there is, but, IN MY OPINION, he's the better of the two men running at this time.
