But many horrible things = have happened under the Bush presidency. This is a regime that has exploded government power at a pace I hoped we would never see again.

And yet, I support his = reelection for fear of Kerry. <o:p></o:p> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0945466382/lewrockw= ell/"></a>But the Bush supporters don't say that. Instead they liken him to God. They consider him savior. They trust him with leadership. They really credit = him with securing the country. They say that he is ruling in the name of = liberty. It is remarkable, even demonic. The Bush regime isn't just a group of = leaders vying for our affections. It is the world's leading example of the cult = of power itself. Kerry may be dangerous but he heads no cult and commands = no army of deluded religious fanatics willing to celebrate him as he leads the = country into a totalitarian hell of endless war and central administration. = <o:p></o:p> Nonetheless, this is not an endorsement.
