First off, I would never vote for Gore or Nader. But I'm sure you knew that. I'd vote for Bush again because he's done a great job on foreign policy, but I'd be under no disillusions that I'd be getting a conservative in the White House. The 11% budget increase solidified my opinion on his handling of domestic policy, if CFR wasn't enough. The latest national ID support our of the WH only serves to support my opinion.
I am a realist and I'm very glad he won the election and I will wait on these unsettled issues before I condemn him for them. I refuse to join the belly acher's around here who do nothing but bash this President, I could get on the roof and scream outloud over him signing the education bill, but I won't give up on him, Even Ronald Reagan had to face the fact that he was the President of all the people and not just the base of his party. And I think George W. Bush is just doing what every other republican president has had to do once elected. But I will say that I would rather have George W. Bush signing that education bill than Al Gore. And I have deep suspicions of those who do nothing but post negative articles about the president and claim they are patriots, I believe that some of them are DNC hacks trying to divide the republican party.
