Both Bush and Kerry were incompetent.

George W. Bush had a very reckless foreign policy in regards to Iraq, as the US stayed there for 8 years, and his tax cuts created a huge national debt. At the beginning of his term, the debt was at $5.5 billion, but when he left it was well over $10 billion. Meaning, the debt went up 89% during the eight years he was in office.

However, John Kerry was no better. He was a flip-flopper who could not keep his positions straight. First, he sided with Bush on the Iraq War but afterwards, he claimed to be an "anti-war candidate". Then, he claimed he supported the PATRIOT Act, but now he claims it to be a threat to liberty. In 1996, Kerry criticized Gov. William Weld of Massachusetts for supporting the death penalty for terrorists, but now he himself supports it.


In short, 2004 was a year when both of the candidates were incompetent. What are your opinions?
