Even I STRONGLY DISAPPROVE the drunken sailor like spendings by the Bush Admin., the alternative will be far worse. The other side will give us Tax Hikes, Big Spendings and intolerable social policies. There is no way on earth I will go for any alternatives. Like it or not, this country is run by two parties. Either you are for one or another, any third party stuff is just nonsense. Ask the dems on DarthNader! Beware of all these msgs claiming to be Republicans for third party stuff, we just don't know who they are, heck, I know some of my very Republican friends donate money to Dean on the web just to stoke the ego of that Nut (and watch him prematurely imploded in Iowa).

I too will support Bush and every GOP candidate since the culture, the nation, the economy, the defense of our nation as spelled out by Pelosi-the Dash last night would put this nation in a tail-spin with which we could not recover.To listen to the lib-Dems and poor Marty, the American dream is gone. It is not. I realize Marty has some good complaints. But,there is no alternative except domestic and international and national security disaster with the Dems. Bush proposed much I can support. I trust him as Commander in Chief. I do not trust any,any Dem with that role. That alone gives him my vote. The GOP has been in charge for 10 years off and on. The Dems were in charge for nearly 60 years. Bush has to undo that and the effects of a liberal media, university elite, and a party which hates, hates, hates. I'm sorry Marty is grieved. I am 65 and have seen more than he has and I will stick with Bush and his party since there is no other alternative which will promise me national security and a semblance of free enterprise capitalism and liberty. And please, no more absurd ideas about a Third Party. In fact, any Reformed, Libertarians, or Constitutionalists should come back to the GOP before they are swamped by socialism and insecurity in the name of the Democrat Party!

It is not that I want a Dem or a third party candidate to win. It is that the way we are going, it won't make much of a difference. Plus, what abbout the Hillary factor? If Bush gets reelected, Hillary will be president. If you don't believe this, you are probably among those who said that an adulteror, draft dodger, pot smoker........ would never get elected. A little pain now may forestall a lot of pain later.

Speaking as a "Drunken Sailor" with a lot of experience in that area, I resent being compared to these folks. At least when I was drunk, I spent my OWN money, not the public's.

Now if you want to make a comparison about unbridled spending, maybe you should compare him to Congress in an election year!!

All joking aside, I agree with you. President Bush has angered me with his Campaign Finance Reform, his Prescription Drug Plan, and now his Immigration Reform Plan.

It is not a viable option to let the Democrats win just to show the moderates in our party the error of their ways. When you look at the other side, virtually every one is Pro Abortion, Pro Tax Increase, more government spending, and not at all strong on foreign policy.

If Bush had a primary challenger, I'd vote for them. As he doesn't, I'm going to hold my nose and vote for Bush.

...any third party stuff is just nonsense

Unless it gives you a Perot who can throw the election to the likes of Bill Clinton for 8 years. 3rd Parties can be dangerous to the health of the nation.
