Can you list for me all the things GWB has done to merit my vote:the gov't he has cut, the spending he has cut, the
times he has stood up to the democrats in congress, leave
the troops out of it, the success/failure in Afganistan or Iraq is not assured at this point. Name all of GWB's finer points that make me proud to call him a Conservative. Take all the time you need.

Of course I can, even though we both know it will have little impact. You were around for all this stuff occurring, just like I was.

leave the troops out of it, the success/failure in Afganistan or Iraq is not assured at this point.

I'll do no such thing. We're at war against terrorists. This Administration, filled with brilliant and courageous people, knows that. Your "perfect economy" which may be miraculously created when you don't vote for Dubya won't last long when the Sears Tower is leveled and/or an entire airport is wiped out by chem/bio weapons. The offensive use of our troops is remarkable and courageous. And terrorists are finding out their training against cardboard cutouts may work well against daycare centers and ice cream shops, but it's not too effective against armored personnel carriers, helos and special forces.

Want some other conservative examples?
-He's restored some much-needed dignity to the White House.
-The President has cut taxes several times, returning my money to me.
-He's embarassed the impotent and terrorist-enabling United Nations.
-He's routinely nominated conservatives to seats on the bench (and don't even blame him for the filibusters).
-He's made America realize the value of life at all stages, and it's reflected in shifting cultural polling numbers.
-He has (more indirectly than directly) put in place a pro-2nd amendment atmosphere, though I think Sept. 11th gets much of the credit. But the NRA is pleased with its gains over the past three years, including several concealed carry laws.

Now I'll wait for you to ignore all these statements, which directly answer your question, and go straight to other areas which you're ticked off about. And in the end, if you look at the big picture, you'll realize how silly it would be to not re-elect this man.

And your alternative suggestion is? Your spiteful withholding of a vote for Bush is a vote for all you should despise.

His judicial appointments have been consistently conservative. Have you heard about the Democrat fillibusters? Did you know Federal judges are there for life? Did you know they have a huge impact on life in this country? Then there's the partial birth abortion bill that Clinton vetoed twice that he will sign as soon as Congress puts it on his desk. Are you paying attention?

You have the right to withhold your vote, but it is republicans like you that put us all in danger. YOU are the one who needs to look at the big picture--present and future included.
