So, you'd rather see the Democrats back in power, right? Of course not! But that's the alternative: Either Bush or high taxes and the foreign policy of France. W ain't perfect (from this Conservative's point of view): he's just a hell of a lot better than the alternative. As for Newsweak, that left-wing rag can go pound sand. 1006 people out of 120,000,000 million votes is hardly a meaningful sample.

We have a 2 party system that ensures that no American with strong ideological views is truly satisfied. The fact remains, however, that there is will be a vast difference between Bush and whoever the Democrats nominate. And that difference makes voting worthwhile. You can bet that those on the far Left will be voting Democrat, even if they run a centrist campaign in the general election.

Yup, he has steadily turned broken-glass Republicans into why-bother Republicans. I've been predicting since very early in his administration that he would be a one-termer, and he's done nothing to make me think differently. I did think he'd cruise to victory after Dean the Psycho appeared to be the Democratic nominee, but that's gone. Bush will desperately need an energized base in November, but he won't have it. If Kerry wins the nomination and there's no new major military crisis in November, Bush will lose.

P.S. BTW, there's a 99% chance I'll vote for Bush again, simply because there's no realistic alternative and he's the slight lesser of multiple evils.

That's nice.

The latest from the White House is that they're going to start controlling spending . . . in the next presidential term. I don't think President Kerry will let them do that.

Read my lips, no new spending!
