Just place yourself for a few moments as an outsider (maybe an E.T. type) and ask yourself after observing the different comments about our leadership, Why are so many people anti Bush? There has to be some logical reason other than "they just hate the president".

I have been trying to find the answer to this question for some time now, and have concluded that the majority of the people sense some inconsistency, some waffling but at the same time a reluctance to admit that things have not gone as well as they might have. Some people simplify this as "being lied to". These people, many of them insensitized by the debacle during the Clinton administration have arrived at a saturation point with the government. Sadly, these people will still overall vote the way daddy did and granddaddy, feeling that, although the entire government is corrupt, their guy is OK.

On a more personal note, what I find most disturbing about the president's message is his dependence on the concept of "fear" and "terror". Perhaps we should revisit the words of FDR and, for the 21st century say: "We have nothing to fear but those who use fear as a weapon against us." The words from our leadership, to me, are becoming more shrill and meaningless, based on unprovable abstract concepts, and smacking of desperation.

Personally, I would like to see a "debate" between Bill and Keith. I think it should be a PPV event in Madison Square Garden.
