John Kerry is a "Massachusetts liberal" - Bush is a moderate centrist
John Kerry is way out there in left field. George Bush is right in the center. <sarcasm> Never mind that the Neo-cons have taken over the Republican Party and George W Bush and his neo-con cabinet are not even "real" conservatives. Because "real" conservatives do not spend like Bush and this bunch of neo-cons. Real conservatives do not believe in running up the largest deficits in the history of the world. John Kerry may be a "Massachusetts liberal" but George W Bush is no moderate centrist. He is a radical neo-con and his policies are more destructive than anything a Massachusetts liberal might do.

1. It's about competency, stupid
Not calling you stupid, just taking from the old economy line.

Bush is incompetent, the Democrat nominee won't be. Quite frankly, the vast majority of Americans put up with a fairly wide range of ideologies if they think the guy in charge is competent.

2. Right.
GWB:
Reality: Extreme right-wing fascist neocon who serves big money at the great expense of the people.
Advertised as: Moderate compassionate conservative.

Kerry:
Reality: Both the republican and democratic parties have moved to the right such that moderate conservative Kerry is now where the republicans *used* to be.
Advertised as: Liberal democrat.

Kucinich:
Reality: Progressive social democrat (i.e., a politician who places citizen's rights ahead of entrenched power structures and corrupt corporations).
Advertised as: Left-wing extremist.

:wtf:
Pretty sad.
