"Exactly! There are no third parties that are going to win and staying home and not voting for Bush on "principle" is just a vote for the democrats."

Another intelligent person who gets this simple truth! :)

I don't understand how so many can keep ignoring the obvious, even after it is pointed out to them repeatedly.

Because if the party we keep helping can't uphold the sanctity of the Constitution when they control both Houses of Congress and the Presidency then maybe it's time to hasten the end of the charade.

I think you are ignoring the obvious. This is a 50-50 country. Bush needs to get his 50%, more than he needs to win over Howard Dean voters, who are unlikely to vote for him. This could be a close election, hinging on voter turn-out, so I think the suggestion that he should dampen voter turn-out of his core voters is ridiculous.

Can you name one single president who was elected in recent memory that didn't follow the tried-and-true formula, of soldify your base, then move from there? I certainly can't think of even one. It's not like Bush has to enact every single conservative plank on the agenda, he justr has to make sure he does enough, that thos voters are eager to vote in November. This is sub-atomic physics, it's very simple. Why you would wantr to throw out a winning formula, I can't understand.
