I am not going to scrap this article with "What do science fiction writers know about politics?" because the answer is usually, a hell of a lot. However, much as it pains me to disagree with Mr. Card, he's wrong in almost every particular.
The Bush residency has been a dismal failure unless you pull down a six figure salary, and, to the extent that Governor Dean's platform is "Bush is the Devil," Bush is the Devil. Actually, perhaps even to a greater extent than Dean suggests because, as I have noted in another thread, it is hard to criticize this administration without being perceived as taking cheap shots, because all of the shots are cheap, substantive or not. It's just too easy. Further, there is no liberal bias in the main stream media. Rather the opposite, in fact.
I will leave it there because, to extensively document the failures of both the Bush Bund and the Media would take all night, and end up convincing no one to change their opinion.
Sorry, Orson. Love your fiction, sir, but really wish you would leave the Anne Coultering to Anne Coulter and Michael Moore and other folks who have no credibility to lose.
