FAITH AND THE ELECTION

My take on the differences between George W. Bush and John F. Kerry.

VOTING AGAINST BUSH: Here’s a sentence I could have written:

“Yes, Kerry is liberal. But what’s to fear from a liberal president? That he would run big deficits? That he would increase federal spending? That he would expand the power of the federal government over individuals’ lives? Nothing Kerry could do could top what President Bush has already done in those realms.”

That’s the Des Moines Register, endorsing Kerry. Then there’s Bob Barr, hardline fiscal conservative, finding it impossible to pull the Republican lever this time around.

LEFT OR RIGHT? In the Bush-Kerry battle, it’s not so simple any more. My take in Time.
