"Bush has behaved like a caricature of what a right-wing president is supposed to be, and his continuation in office will discredit any sort of conservatism for generations. The launching of an invasion against a country that posed no threat to the U.S., the doling out of war profits and concessions to politically favored corporations, the financing of the war by ballooning the deficit to be passed on to the nations children, the ceaseless drive to cut taxes for those outside the middle class and working poor: it is as if Bush sought to resurrect every false 1960s-era left-wing cliché about predatory imperialism and turn it into administration policy. Add to this his nation-breaking immigration proposalBush has laid out a mad scheme to import immigrants to fill any job where the wage is so low that an American cant be found to do itand you have a presidency that combines imperialist Right and open-borders Left in a uniquely noxious cocktail."Via the comments in this Pharyngula post.

The American Conservative endorses Kerry
This is something that I never thought I'd see this year: a conservative publication (The American Conservative) printing an article (by Scott McConnell) endorsing Kerry for president (though they also have dissenting articles). The McConnell article is incredibly scathing of Bush, and a great read.
