President Kerry?

So walking around downtown Silver Spring today, I was stopped by Kerry Supporters.

"Would you like to help support John Kerry for President?" they asked.

I thought for a minute.

"No thanks." I said, and walked on.

I abhor Bush as president. I think he's an attrocious president, and I think his administration is as corrupt as any we've seen in a log time. I think Cheney is one of the most offensive individuals we've had in any administration. I feel that time will tell that Bush was a misguided, simplistic, yet honest individual who was a pawn of the Cheney's and Wolfowitz's of the world. I also believe that in time the depths of the corruption of this administration will be brought to light. It smells like a duck, quacks like a duck, leaves duck droppings, and has webbed feet. All we're missing is a polaroid of the duck. Everything from policy in fields like Energy, and Taxation stinks. The lack of disclosure stinks. The handling of contracts in occupied Iraq stinks of pork. Probably another reason the Muslims resent the US occupation is we're introducing pork into a culture that eats Kosher.

Still, I can't bring myself to think that Kerry would be much better. Different, yes. Better? Ultimately, I can't bring myself to believe that Kerry will be a good president. Yes, I'm gonna vote for him, but I'm treating my vote as a "No" vote on the Bush presidency rather than a "Yes" vote on Kerry . Anyway, living in the Peoples Republic of Maryland, I'm fairly confident that Kerry will take this state hands down.

Ultimately it will come down to the wire, and I feel that because the Dems chose a real loser, Bush will win again by a whopping couple hundred thousand votes. Maybe one state making the difference electorially. Either way, we're screwed for the next four years. And unfortunately I feel we'll be screwed far beyond in terms of the quality of leadership we're given to pick from.

Still, I'd rather be here than anywhere else.

Hail to the Redskins
Hail Victory
Braves on the Warpath
Fight for all DC!

Run or pass or score we want a lot more
Beat 'em, Swamp 'em, Touchdown, let the points soar.

Fight on, Fight on, 'til you have won
Sons of Washington

God Bless Joe Gibbs
