I've just been reading some of the latest posts to this thread. A lot of hot-headed arguments going on with many claiming to be "principled" by opposing the re-election of President Bush.

What I find interesting is that many FReepers who have stated they are not going to vote for Dubya in 2004 are sitting on their behinds posting on Free Republic instead of getting behind their perfect candidate(s).

Where are those perfect candidates who are going to save us all not only from another George W. Bush presidency but a Democrat presidency? Where are those perfect candidates that are actually going to win the election, preserve the Constitution, impeach some SCOTUS judges, win Congressional and Senate races by a significant margin, put Hillary out of her socialist misery and Dean back into his outsider status?

Iowa Caucuses will be held in about 3 weeks., then we have New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries. Better get those principled and perfect candidates on the ballot soon so they can cruise to certain victory.

No one is looking for perfection. All I ask is that someone actually change heading instead of driving to the same abyss at a little slower speed... though Bush seems in many ways to have INCREASED speed. But you are obviously another one of the "but he's better than __(fill in the blank)__" or "Bush: at least he's not a Democrat" crowd. Sorry. When you convince him to change course noticeably, I will support him. Until then, tell Karl Rove that he can kiss my all-American a$$. And perhaps kiss his tenure at 1600 goodbye.

You make several excellent points.

The only thing I can counter with is that the "perfect candidate(s)" probably want nothing to do with what our political/electoral system has become. They see how ugly things get when you have
