Was just doing some brainstorming on what the main talking points are against Bush. These are just some of them off the top of my head. Any thoughts? Sometime before November I'd like to do some research and give a full account of the salient arguments, but for now I'm just mulling them over and awaiting further developments. Anyone have any additions to the list, or maybe further information? I don't really know a lot about the medicare issue, or some of the things I left out, like ANWR driling, or steel tariffs. Plus I'm kind of in favor of his immigration policy, but I guess I don't have to agree with all the items to make a good list.
