"I wouldn't argue logic with SAJ."

OK, SAJ, try refuting this statement:

"If Bush doesn't get elected, a Democrat will" -- in any realistic scenario.

Those are the only two choices.

He'd probably say something like, "That well may be true, but unless I vote for the democrat, it wouldn't be my fault."

That's just a guess though.

Looking at it logically, your statement boils down to:

We can elect a Marxist or a quasi-Marxist.

If, under either choice, we get larger government and an expansion of the assorted Ponzi schemes now in favour with most governments, and the associated restrictions on and confiscations of our respective liberties, what's the difference?

And -- keeping in mind that I (more's the idiot, me -- and I admit my error, unlike a large number of our fellow citizens) voted enthusiastically for Mr. Bush in 2000 -- why MUST I play **their** game any further?

Btw, I will cheer you up to this extent: if Hitlery runs, I'll vote for ANYONE the Pubbies nominate. Period. I once spent 5 1/2 months in the old Soviet Union, 1971-2 (don't EVER spend a winter in Leningrad...wups, Sankt Peterburg...TRUST me on this one point!) and there is precisely nothing to differentiate the Clinquant of Chappaqua from a female version of Stalin, except possibly the moustache.
