Credibility is the thread that ties this whole election together.Josh M.

Right-wingers in this country are casting this pattern as a cosmic moral drama of appeasement, with the faint of heart cowering before the grand struggle. In fact, the president is reduced to a mix of taunt and begging, pleading with other countries not to abandon him. What is a leader without followers? Not a leader.


Vote Bush: When Dangers Threaten, You Know He'll Go Berserk!

But again, the president has damaged the country's hard credibility by lying to our allies and isolating us from them. For half a century the United States has been the guardian of a prosperous and increasingly democratic world order. If our allies are really abandoning us and making 'separate peaces' with gangs of murderous religious fanatics what does that tell you about this president's leadership? His credibility abroad or even his ability to use hard power to advance the country's interests?

The president made the mess and he lacks the credibility, thus the strength, to clean it up.

Credibility is the thread that ties this whole election together.

I guess everyone else does. Must go without saying. That must be why you have no responses.

It's time we redefine Buh for the non-thinkers who are easily persuaded by bogus commercials. His credibility was in question when taking by brute force the White House. I agree, this is a race about credibility, integrity, honesty, morals, tolerance, humanity, dignity, and restoring democracy in our White House. At least the last 4 years is a great reminder that checks and balance are vital to keep our governing on the side of truth. We must never allow all three branches to lean one way, and that is the responsibility of the voter.
