- Dubya has made it clear that, in his mind, the Muslim has no rights that the Christian is bound to respect, and his administration has argued in court that nobody has any rights that the President of the United States is bound to respect. What was that about the Dred Scott decision, again?
- The people of the United States have the right to know whether their president is a crook.
- No, Kerry isn't perfect. That's not the standard. The standard is that he is the best available choice. It doesn't matter that I think my mother might do a better job--she's not eligible. It doesn't matter that I'd rather be voting for Howard Dean. The point is to get Bush out of there, so we can have a chance to choose again in 2008.

Ah, so you're talking about the Republican party in general, not Bush personally? From the outside the situation looks like a conflict between two individuals more than two parties. And the liberal types seem to be more of the opinion that Bush is evil and disastrous for America and the world, not so much that Republicans are evil. (The latter opinion would be frighteningly anti-democratic, I think.)
But if hypothetical-you don't like the Republican government right now, it makes far more sense to vote Democrat now, than to wait four years until the Democrats might hypothetically field a better candidate.
