A man known as Outraged Richard commented on the nearing presidential election as the inanity wound down:

The qualifications for president seem to have boiled down to the parroting chatter of “Kerry good, Bush bad” drowning out the din of “Bush good, Kerry bad,” or was it the other way around? As the forced choice vote between two unqualified candidates draws near, the realization that this year’s presidential race was a complete sham is soon forgotten. From the slinging about of meaningless statistics to the last minute pandering to the parades of externally motivated victims, it makes me want to vomit.

Short of a terrorist attack tomorrow (in which case, I believe Bush would be more suited to handle such an attack), I will be casting a “Candidates Are Unqualified” vote in the write-in section. Despite the election ballot not specifically allowing that choice, I should be able to cast a “No” vote if I believe the candidates to be unqualified. Should not the politicians know of the dissent of the citizens?

What about the definition of family, values based education, illegal immigrants, prison reform, and the environment, to name a few issues, to be addressed in the right way which a qualified presidential candidate would wholeheartedly address?

Some may argue Bush is better than Kerry and I may agree with that. Bush acknowledges that he has to do what is right for the country even if it is unpopular. Kerry seems to be swayed to pander to popular opinion which is nothing more than what a majority of people happen to think. Now if Bush would carry out his “doing what is right” principle more consistently we might have some solid direction in America.

In conclusion, I think a bit on the future First Lady is in order here, because she plays an integral role in the presidency. Well, that is until they finally remove the distinctions and values of being a man or a woman, and two men or two women would be just as good for the presidency. There is a sweetness about Laura Bush where Teresa Heinz has a repulsiveness. If being a woman means something good, Laura exemplifies that and Teresa abhors it like a vampire shying from the light.
