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.

just so any FReeper doesn't think I've gone crazy, what I mean by this is that Hillary could be a one term President, and usher in new vast conservative majorities, which could help usher in a new conservative era.
