My you are full of yourself.

The post reply I made was to Maceman; dixie sass & ImpBill, yet you keep on about this Maceman post.

"It's nice that you support the president, but catty attacks on anyone who doesn't follow the party line exactly don't help your cause or make anyone more likely to vote for Republicans."

My cause?

You are pompously laughable. Don't look now, but you're tripping over your ego.

Many thanks though, for trying to make me a "good" little Republican.

A third party vote against Bush is too scary to contemplate. Any action that might help one of these Dems into office is a death wish. I'm pissed off, too, but sitting out, or voting 3rd party is not a sane option. Sadly, I think Rove knows this.

I will feel imminently more comfortable if Nader gets in the Dems race again.

If Bush pushes for an amnesty for illegal aliens I'll be voting third-party. And I live in Arizona which is not a sure GOP state any longer due to RECONQUISTA.

[William McKinley]

Amen.

Very true.

" I will feel imminently more comfortable if Nader gets in the Dems race again."

Ah, yes. Mr. Nader. We will all be blessed by his hat being thrown into the ring.

Perhaps this is the mysterious "third" party that these posting here are refering?

And should he, [Nader] which of the "dwarves" will be chaffed sufficiently to support him, as many here will [allegedly] support, a "third" party candidate?

I thought Dean was sufficiently wacko to keep Nader on the sidelines. Of course, by April he'll be mainstream...maybe Nader knows this.

I live in Arizona too, but I'm not crazy. (ref. #42)

I find myself torn about President Bush. I thank God he was in the WH when the 2nd attack on the World Trade Center took place. The previous administration made speeches when they attacked the first time, but did nothing about that attack nor the other attacks on our country by the terrorists.

I admire Bush's character. He is plain spoken and seems to be a man of his word.

But his domestic record has scary things in it. The tax cuts are good, but too timid in the approach. The Drug Bill that was just passed is terrible. The CFR law he signed is the antithesis of American principles. The education bill and the farm bill were both awful.

But I cannot see any of the Rat candidates in the White House. We are in a world war, defending ourselves against an invading force, and Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld are the right men to lead us in the prosecution of this thing. This is a different war than any we have been in before and we need men who will fight the enemy in ways that have never been used before.

You're correct. When even Gore can win the popular vote it's likely it'll be another very close Presidential election. Here in Florida, Nader picked up 97,000 votes while Bush won the state by 500. How many of those 97,000 are likely to go for Bush this time? Will a lot of them desert Nader this time and vote for Dean? While I can't pretend to know many of his voters, I think the answers are not many and yes.

[Graymatter]

Off the top of my head there's three things that have me very disappointed in George W. Bush. Signing that campaign reform monstrosity; not lifting a finger to protect/rescue American women and their children who are domestic hostages in Muslim countries; and Taiwan.
Nevertheless, he is president by the grace of God and we'd be in deep trouble if a Democrat replaced him. I expect we will see a landslide for Bush and more R's in Congress, but if Bush needs my vote he will have it.

[ImpBill]

You said it all. At times I am so perplexed and vexed by GW's domestic agenda. I get angry enough to think, "this is the last straw", and then I am reminded by world events that he is the right man, at the right time, for the right job. But what price will we be paying in the long run? Time will tell.

The only thing better than Howard Dean as the nominee would be Dennis "Evil Elf" Kucinich as the nominee.
