I'm not so sure... at least with Bush, you KNOw when he's lying and he's funny if you look at him the *right* way.

Thing is that I can't even look at him anymore without getting pissed. It's just his face and all the actions that it reminds me of; I want to him *try getting that one censors*. Sure Kerry could have been a stand in for Herman Munster, but he hasn't made me want to go ballistic yet.

And Jonna, you say he can't do much worse... What makes you so sure?

you have a point. I have been getting more agitated at Bush's speeches as he has been 'groomed' a lot more since the time he first took office in 2001. Back then he was a good joke; a hit every time. Now he's like that old joke that just gets on your nerves...

He supports reproductive rights, and in the coming appointments to the Supreme Court he won't go out of his way to appoint Fundamentalist Taliban wannabe Justices like Bush will...further eroding civil liberties.
He's also an elder statesman with a distinguished command of the english language commensurate with what one would expect from the leader of the free world. This not only translates into me not throwing things at the TV when the current President mispronounces NU-Q-LUR, but also will serve us well in severely diminished foreign relations.
And every Republicans favorite...as an honorable veteran of the armed forces he'll lead uncommonly well as Commander and Chief...knowing full well what fate he may be sending young men and women into in times of crisis....as opposed to a fake cowboy and failed businessman with misplaced bravado.
First ones off the top of my head, though your mentions of affordable health care and real economic recovery for the middle class are also good ones.
On health care, I'll be happy if he gets the reimportation of drugs from Canada approved and takes Edwards suggestion of banning pharmaceautical TV advertising for prescription drugs.... That only creates cost and pill mania, but Bush is in the DrugCo's pockets too deep for any significant change.
On economic recovery, I'll take anyone for President that doesn't have Bush's policy of "outsourcing jobs is good for the economy."
I got an 3 figure refund check from Bush and lost a 6 figure job in return. Do the math.
I'm quite happy to be supporting JFK for President. The things he "stands for" are tangible and will improve my life. They aren't the same tired empty abstracts I've come to expect from the opposition.
Are you now going to do the same for Bush and give reasons to vote for him that aren't "he's not Kerry" or just bash Kerry?

Job loss is not valid, as it has been for a while now.
It began before he even took office, so I don't even see how it matters.
