We are better off letting Bush serve a 2nd term to complete what has happened in his 1st term. It's not worth getting into political arguments because you can't force people to change their perspective on things. I really wish we could some how come up with a strong 3 party system which would really make things interesting. The 2 party system always makes it us against them. And it always turns into "look how bad their guy is" and not "look how good our guy is".

i agree that the system is due for a change, especially when the two parties are so similar.
