New Election Year Timetable Needed

Has anyone gotten sick and tired of Bush and Kerry hammering away at one another?

An eight month campaign is TOO long! It should be set up so that the primaries run from May to August and then the campaign between the two (or more) parties runs from September to November.

Now some would say that this timetable is not not enough time to "vet out" the candidates, but I disagree. We would find out no more about the candidates than we have after a five-month (and counting) campaign between Kerry and Bush. We still don't know the truth about Bush's or Kerry's respective (barely) Vietnam records.

We don't know who John Kerry is yet. We don't know if Bush will start a draft in 2005. We don't know, we don't know, WE DON'T KNOW! So much for an informed public. Two of the most deceptive men in modern politics are running for President and the public can't tell which of them is being more truthful. (Actually, I know who is...read my previous posts to figure out where I stand on that one yourself!)

So why prolong this agony and discord? Do the primaries, then do the conventions (as unnecessary as they are) and get on with the general election! This process should stop wasting time!
