But this is how George Bush Sr. lost the elections of 92. Clinton seemed more like a regular guy than Bush. However, Pres. George W. Bush seems like a much more regular guy than his father and John Kerry.
IT wasn't about being a "regular guy" it was about knowing what the regular guy was dealing with. GW could be made to look like a "regular guy" just as anyone else might be able to. The real question is does he know the impact that policy really has on us and does it matter to him. You can't tell that by hearing him quote back the price of a gallon of milk. You can tell it in his policies. And that is among his weaker points. His policy on free trade cost me my job. There are many that want to handwring about that and try to say he isn't responsible for the consequences of his own policies. But I'm not the only one. Most of America out there is worried about their jobs in the near and long term because of free trade. And that don't make Bush look like a "regular guy". I want our party in office; but, not if they pull crap like free trade.
I wouldn't vote for Kerry on his best day. But those are the two choices I'm given by the two party system. Last I checked, this is a free country and should have more choice that A) I'm screwed B) I'm screwed.
This is gonna be a close Election even with a piece of crap like Kerry running. That should be a wakeup call, but, some are more concerned with money and power than with right and wrong or what's good for the Country. If you haven't guessed, yes, I've become a cynic.
