We have traded a dictator for a chaos that has left America less secure.

Today, if you're an American business, you actually get a benefit for going overseas. You get to defer your taxes. So if you're looking at a competitive world, you say to yourself, "Hey, I do better overseas than I do here in America."

An old American patriot described today's situation very well. As America fought for its independence, Benjamin Franklin said, "we must all hang together, or assuredly, we shall all hang separately."

George Bush's vision does not live up to the America I enlisted in the Navy to defend, the America I have fought for in the Senate, and the America that I hope to lead as president.
