Lots of us, predisposed to vote for W, are concerned with what seems to be his cognitive dissonance:

• Islam is peace (it's clearly NOT)
• Open Borders are good (but we need greater permission to wiretap the internet, to watch those pesky american citizens)
• Illegal immigration shouldn't be treated as a crime (invasion is aok?) Send jobs overseas, by refusing to tax labor or goods imported from other countries who are not playing on a level field, like India, China and others... and taxing the beejessus out of American Business and employees, via regulations and restrictions that occupy the carreers of tens of thousands of tax law and business regulation lawyers.
• expanding the department of education, (supposedly to placate democrats, but increasingly apparent that HE did not support the republican revolution to downsize government at all; terminate the fcc, HHS, and education departments, ala newt and the pubbie revolution)
• Expansion of social medical welfare (via the previously unpalatable to republicans "prescriptions for seniors")
• No bill is large enough to veto.

Lots of us will still vote for bush. I know I will... but I gotta say that those things, plus others like the flirtation with signing an AWB ban, which bush has said he will... really is valid grounds for QUESTIONING bush AND his ability to win. His core support groups are all concerned... and that includes most of conservative talk radio.

A vote for kerry is a vote for osami. And I would not put it past democrat "liberal socialists" to even assist al queada in bombing us, just to try and swing the election their way. I suspect that is what socialists did in Spain... how else would they have had all their protest signs made up, and in the streets just hours after the bombings took place.. unless they were planning on the tragedy to begin with.

Kerry supporters might help the terrorists if they believe they can sway this election.

So MY vote for bush is safe. I would feel better if he changed is tack a little however. And mel questioning Bush is something that any of Bush' supporters ought to do, on issues they have concerns about.

Your comments are all well-taken, but may I suggest (to others, not to you) that the time to gripe about Bush is over; we know who the alternative to Bush is, and if we're not all united in tearing into Kerry, we're being counter-productive.

My vote for bush is also safe.

I disagree with you only on Bush repeating "religion of peace.
There are about a billion Muslims.
This is not a holy war, thats what AQ wants folks to believe.
We have to stand on this, its not about religion, its those dudes killing in the name of...

This is not a crusade against Islam, its a war against mass murderers. Muslims have a serious interest in stopping this, too.

KKK claimed to be Christians, wouldn't want us all painted with that brush, you know?
