Voting for Bush indicates voting for more than judges. You are conveying your approval of his assault on the First Amendment, approval of his gigantic spending increases on unconstitutional expenditures (NEA? Give me a break!), approval of enormous deficits, approval of his complicity with Teddy Kennedy's "education" waste, approval of his refusal to even talk about "limited government", much less act on it.

You'll be saying "all of that is OK with me; let's have four more years of it."

I don't approve of any of those, and I will vote for those who support my principles. Or I won't vote.

"If you are not liberal when you are 20, it is because you have no heart. If you are not conservative when you are 40, it is because you have no brain." (a psuedo-Churchillian quotation)

I like to vote with my head. I sympathize with your point of view; however, Congress allots the money. Congress can cut the spending. Congress can trim the budget. We need many, many more "Republitarians" (as Larry Elder calls them) in Congress. Candidates who respect the original intent of the Constitution. Candidates who respect individual liberties.

There is no perfect candidate (except maybe me for me or you for you!). The election of a President is necessarily a practical matter. The President "sets the tone." I'd like to see G W Bush get back on the straight and narrow. He has strayed, but if he can't "spend" a dime without willing accomplices in the Congress.
