This is my vote. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

...and you can have it when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

Don't tell me how to vote. Don't guilt me into voting for someone. Don't browbeat me, or try to make me afraid to vote my conscience.

I may vote for George Bush. I may not. This kind of crap is certainly not going to sway me. Bush's behavior is what I will look at in determining if he is worthy of my vote - MY vote.

If you want Bush to win and you want to do something constructive I suggest you work to get Bush to stop his amnesty insanity, stop his spending spree, and stop acting like a liberal ($ for AIDS in Africa, $ for NEA, etc). Telling us to pay no attention to certain things isn't going to work.

If you want to vote for someone more conservative than Bush, than I encourage you to do so. I'm not going to tell you a vote for Buchanan is a vote for Hillary. It's a vote for Buchanan. And if Hillary gets more votes than Bush, she got more votes than Bush and deserved to win. Some advance a theory that electing a lib may help push the GOP to the right. With a war now and an old Supreme Court, I don't buy it, but it's a legitamate belief. I mean the GOP did get more conservative in '94 (Contract with America) when they were opposed to Clinton. Electing Hillary would undoubtedly unite the right...So vote your conscience. If you think electing Hillary or whoever is better long term for America (and you may be right) than go ahead and vote against Bush.

I don't like a lot of Bush's domestic spending. I have my reasons as to why I think he does it. If we weren't in war against terrorism and the Supreme Court weren't so old, I would give Bush less slack. That said, I'll happily vote for Bush.

Very well said.

Great post. Sums up what a lot of us are thinking.
