Another inciteful column from Margolis about Kerry vs Bush
Edited on Sun Mar-07-04 08:24 AM by glarius
Eric Margolis is an American mid-east expert living in Toronto and writing for the Toronto Sun...a conservative paper which allows him to write his anti-Bush columsn, which he has been doing since Bush launched his Iraq war...

<snip>
"Struggling to find the worst thing he could say about Sen. John Kerry, a senior member of the Bush administration proclaimed last year, "He looks so ... so ... French!" By "French," the Bushite must have meant well educated, articulate, dignified, sophisticated, worldly - everything President George W. Bush, who likes to play tough Texas Ranger, is not."
<snip>
"If Canadians and non-Americans could vote in November, John Kerry would win in a landslide. George Bush is reviled around the world.
According to some polls, he is even regarded as a greater danger than Osama bin Laden. This is how low the U.S. has sunk in world esteem."
P.S....Margolis is a long time Republican. If he is so completely disillusioned with Bush and his buddies that he is championing Kerry, how many other such Republicans are there like him?

1. Maybe not enough for a preponderance still support him notwithstanding
what he has wrought on the economy, the job market, the federal treasury, the future of social security and Medicare, the environment, the nation, international order and goodwill, the world.

2. Others have always put Americans down because they were jealous or........
whatever. But to be AFRAID of us? That is truly a sign of how low Bush has brought us.
