Amen, brother.
Personally, I'm getting it from both sides. Living in Urban California, I'm surrounded by the "ABB" voters and Turnip Diary Reading Conservatives who think that defeating our President will bring about this Conservative Revolution (violent or otherwise) that will result in a return to those Glorious Days of Yesteryear (which in California had most people speaking Spanish) or some-such nonsense.
Members of both of these groups ask me with mocking bruskness--"You can't be serious, you're voting for Bush?"
To which I respond--"Yes, for many reasons, I'll give you just two--1) A vote for anyone else wil make my Taxes Increase and, 2) Most Importantly, Picture the celebrations on the West Bank, in Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen and all those other places where they really hate us the day after Kerry is elected."
