Bush was disgusting??? We obviously watched different debates. A HUGE supporter might have chosen a different word.
But hey, maybe that's how you really feel, morally sickened.

Kerry's another matter, and since this word has a French root, it fits. :)

Actually, I was disgusted by Bush's performance.

A whole lot rides on this election... If President Bush isn't going to go at it 100%, take the fight right to that scum, (rather than take the "high road" like his father), all of the admiration and respect that I have for him will quickly turn to hate.

If he doesn't have the heart or willingness to battle this at full speed, he should have stepped aside a while ago.
