Wayne,

I think you bring up a lot of valid points. I also agree the Republican party is a strong political machine like the communist party of old. I also feel Kerry is not the best candidate, but since he is the only alternative to Bush I will vote for him.

I feel we are on a downward slide that must be stopped. I'm concerned that Americans believe everything they read and everything the media tells them. Critical thinking is going the way of endangered species. If a person expresses cognitive dissonance, they are considered a flip flopper.

Where is the America where people questioned and looked for answers?

Remember - Hitler did not take power through the barrel of a gun, but through the ballot box.

In every election, we the people have a chance to change or make history, lets hope we make the right one.
