Colin Powell sums it all up

"The stakes are whether or not freedom and democracy triumph or whether or not we fall from the rule of law, whether people can simply kill others, innocent people, in order to impose their will, in order to take us back to the past, take us back to the days of a Saddam Hussein-like regime," he said.

Okay the end part pulled it back to what he apparently meant to say but the rest of it......... well it could apply to more than one situation that I can think of.


Oh and check this out:

Bush refused to answer questions from reporters. He simply stared at a reporter who asked if he agreed with Vice President Dick Cheney's assertion that if Democrat John Kerry is elected, "the danger is that we'll get hit again" by terrorists.

2. This should be OUR campaign motto!
"The stakes are whether or not freedom and democracy triumph or whether or not we fall from the rule of law, whether people can simply kill others, innocent people, in order to impose their will, in order to take us back to the past, take us back to the days of a Saddam Hussein-like regime,"


Colin said it about Iraq, but it applies perfectly to what's at stake for the people of the United States at the polls in November.

3. "Bush refused to answer questions... He simply stared..."
Let's say it over and over again: Bush is afraid of the tough questions voters need answered.
