Robert Heinlein once wrote, "A government supported artist is an incompetent whore." Government has no business funding art -- even art that I happen to like.

That being said, there are a couple of issues that are too important to risk losing them out of anger over money given to an artist. Specifically the war on terror and judicial appointments.

Can anyone imagine Wesley Clark having to deal with Kim Jung Il? Or John Kerry with Fidel Castro? Or Howard Dean possessing nuclear launch codes? How about a couple of retired conservative Supreme Court justices being replaced by a couple of Ruth Bader Ginsbergs? There's just too much at stake to toss away out of petulance and spite.

So although I oppose this shear wasting of good money, Bush will still get my vote.

Some people say There's just too much at stake to toss away out of petulance and spite so Bush will still get their vote.

The question is what is there to toss away? 8 million Illegals, 15 billion for Aids in Africa, More Rinos in the GOP, More money for the Arts? More Spending, More Deficits, More rebuilding of our enemies countries while our troops are reduced to bullet magnet duty. yep there is alot to toss away, and it is sitting in the White House now.

Yes we'd get a democrat but who's fault is that. Not the electorate. The fault is squatly on The President. NOT U.S.
His actions cause him to be elected or not. That is how it works. Mr. President:

- your actions are not representative of the Peoples will,

and the People have the right and moral obligation to kick you the heck outta town.
Nowadays we are being told that its the other way around. We are being told to be loyal to the party.

We are told:
we are supposed to be representative of the Presidents will. WRONG

The President represents U.S. Our will. He no longer does, which is why we will not vote for him.
Or as the say south of the Border Adios Papi.
