No, we have only George HW Bush to blame for his defeat. He disregarded the reforms of the Reagan administration and raised taxes and gave us the monstrous ADA. He was rightly defeated. I will be voting Libertarian in 04. Anyone to the right of Bush will be just as good on security, if not better. At least we will be closing our porous border and stop playing goalie for the Saudis.

Im not saying a Libertarian would not be successful with our security. I do prefer less government in our lives, as well. However, a Libertarians probability to win is very slim (maybe someday in the future). This race is between Bush and whoever the democrat is that runs. Any third party wont get a majority. You get the point Im making with the Perot factor. Whether Bush Sr. blew some policy issues is not the point. It was between Bush Sr. and Clinton. The better man did not win due to the voters turn out for Perot. Then we ended up with 8 years of defense neglect, shame and corruption because people wanted to prove a point to Bush. It's not worth it. Actually, I consider it very dangerous right now.
