I must be heard
How anyone could have viewed the debates of the last three weeks and still view George bush as a viable candidate for the "highest office in the land" is a mystery for the ages. Issues aside-- George Dubya continually struggled to string together five words to make a complete and comprehensible sentence. On this weakness alone, Bush should lose this election.
The general consensus seems to be that Bush is a more approachable, people person--a "softer" kind of leader. But as Bush stared vacantly at Gore, unable to wrap his mind around the "fuzzy"--read exact numbers--math of Gore's responses, I was struck not by his approachability, but more by the Forest Gumpish quality of his demeanor. This combined with his Elmer Fuddesque manipulation of the English language--and, I wager-- whatever Spanish he speaks read less like charisma and more and more like a man in completely over his head.
The election for the "highest office in the land" should not be conducted like some high school popularity contest. The candidate who wins should not win because we as a nation feel that he is more approachable. We must vote for the candidate with a grasp of the issues and the experience to deal with said issues. Ladies and Gentlemen, Bush is not that man.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
