First off , im not too crazy about Kerry aswell , but I simply choose the lesser of two evils on this one .........and also with the memories of my families economic life being better during Democratic rule than with Bush's . Im not refering only to the economy which in my opinion is "eroding the middle class " , but in terms of international relations , this president doesn't gain respect among many of the world community , he alienates countries like russia , germany, france ......... and hear me well phillip ... .. ... Without the worlds help in fighting terrorism , the US will lose .
