America's too heavily controlled by corporations to become as strongly liberal a nation as, say, Canada, I think. It's obvious no matter your viewpoint that the tide of public opinion has been turning steadily against Bush in the past year or so though, there's no denying that, and the natural reaction is indeed for the nation to become more liberal.

It's not like I'd vote for any liberal just on the basis of his being a liberal, tho'. Actually, if it were a Kerry vs. McCain race instead of a Kerry vs. Bush race, I'd probably vote for McCain.

Edit: I fail to see how we're any safer due to Bush's actions since 9/11. If anything, the terrorists hate us more than ever, I think; there's certainly no denying that there's more of them. There've been a few minor steps in airport security that might prevent another 9/11 from happening if all the people involved end up getting caught in the random security checks, but it won't stop people like al-Qaida from trying to pull off something like 9/11 - These people really don't care about their own lives, so putting in randomly active security measures isn't going to stop them from trying to pass through. That can't be attributed to Bush at all though, and I don't think it's enough.
