Many, if not most, of the big-mouths lambasting Bush the loudest here are on Free Republic never voted for him in Y2K — they're Patsies who supported for Pat Buchanan and the other wingnuts of the Reform Partry.

Wrong. Try again.

If they're not Patsies then they're most likely to be Keyesters, Losertarians or Constipationists.

Look, why don't y'all just copy this down so it doesn't have to be reposted.

Repeat after me:

When you are politically extreme, in either direction, you will NEVER EVER get what you want. You can complain about that fruitlessly, or you can accept it. Those are your two choices. You are allowed no others. It's not something you have any control over. It is the nature -- the definition -- of the political spectrum.

Half a loaf is what you get not because of anything anyone did to you. It's because half a loaf is all you can ever get. It's not the moment. It's not the circumstance. It is timeless reality.

All you can do is minimize displeasure. You can never maximize pleasure. If you are responsible, you have to vote for the candidate with a chance of winning who is less liberal than the other. If you do otherwise, as in staying home, voting for the liberal or voting fringe third party, you condemn your best friend and your family to life in a society that encourages killing unborn babies, apologizes to the French and raises taxes in order to fund more midnight basketball.

There are a lot of aspects of life in which one has no viable choice. Breathing. Paying taxes. Stopping at red lights. This is merely another.
