Yep, those who voted against Bush41, Perot, or sat out the vote "to show Bush hes not being conservative enough for me", are fully responsible for the ensuing 8 years of lies, deceit, terror attacks, and murder. And the stakes are much higher now, than they were in '92. There is no way the combined intellect on this forum cant see what will happen if all these threats of third party voting, sitting out the vote or writing in a candidiate comes to pass.

You know...I think most people understand this. The real questions are IMHO: How long do we have to wait? How long can we afford to fund increased government entitlements/bureaucracy and promote Republican politicians who support it simply because they have an (R) after their name? Is the current Republican appeasing lean toward the center left (fiscally anyway) temporary, or a sign of things to come? Does the Republican party support the soverignty of the United States...or are we moving toward a "North American Union" (ala EU)? Can we trust these people to represent us conservatives or what? When will we reach the point of: "put up or shut up"? I'm willing to give GWB a chance...but IMHO...he's got to meet us half way.

Its not even the fact that he has an "R". The leadership he demonstrated on 9/11, the tax cuts, the exclusion of France on Iraq contracts, and establishing a new realtionship with Europe...Eastern Europe, to name a few. Does he have his bad points? We all do. But IMHO, its best not change CinCs in the middle of the game. IMHO, hes simply the best candidate to keep my family safe. Can you imagine Howard Dean trying to presidential on 9/11? Theres another reason why I will support W in 2004; the restoration of dignity to the White House. But my favorite Bush action? Flying to Iraq for Tsgiving. I dont care if the naysayers say it was to upstage Hillary (it wasnt) or that it was more Rovian tactics(it wasnt), it was a real desire to be with the troops HE SENT THERE on a holiday. I believe that demonstrated class. Im fairly positive no one else would have gone..These are of course, just my opinions..
