However, I am going to do everything I can to make sure there is never a President Kerry. You can thank the Bush supporters in a few years when you have a clearer idea about national security, which is my number one priority.
I do respect that you and others place it as your number one priority. I don't think either party will lower our national security as another 9/11 would eliminate their party in the next election.
I'm willing to put up with another democrat if meant another Ronald Reagan down the road - I lived through JFK and LBJ (which were worse than Bill Clinton), Carter, and Clinton.
The people at the top only care about elections, and right now it's in their best interest to appeal to people on both sides of the fence, through all these little programs and expenditures. They may not be on the scale of JFK/LBJ, but they are just as harmful, as they are harder to reverse down the road.
We need less government, not more, and we can maintain our current level of national security (as weak as it may be) and still work towards less government.
