You're the one threatening to stay away from the voting booth because of "some" things and attitudes you disagree with, not me.

But it doesn't matter how many analogies you write up, if voters stay away because of personal agendas, there's a big fat ZERO in Bush's column.

Now how can the people who vote FOR him be blamed for that?

And just so you know, if I ran a company where 91 percent of the people who bought my product kept buying it, somehow I'd be able to figure out that those other 9 percent probably didn't like it in the first place.

Heck if President Bush loses only 9% or so he'll be doing good. In 2000 some 17% of the so called conservatives voted for Gore...... President Bush only got 81% of them. Heck at 91% that would be a gain of 10%..... Moving on up ....... Yep looks like that to me....

There you go again, trying to twist my statements. I never said Bush voters would be to blame. I said, in effect, the attitude and reasoning of the Bush purists is serving to convince me to stay home in November.

For you to say that the principled positions of a large number of conservatives is a "personal agenda" is intellectually dishonest.

Also, I disagree with your 91 and 9 percent figures. Conservatives make up more than half of the party, and it's entirely possible that half of those are extremely upset by the non-conservative positions of this administration. If you want to assume that only 9% will stay home, that would still lose him the election, wouldn't it?

As a business, if you were struggling and you lost 9% of your market due to decisions you made, you wouldn't examine your decisions and make some changes? You might as well order the For Sale signs now.
