Kerry, because I've concluded that the best government is a divided government. A president checked by an opposition Congress can never amass too much power. The most disastrous two years in recent history were 1965-66. Lyndon Johnson had a rubber-stamp Congress and he used to start the War on Poverty and the Vietnam War, both complete failures which ended up tearing at the stability of this country.

There's a reason the budget was balanced in the late '90s: divided government. When Clinton had a Democratic Congress, they spent and spent and refused to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment. A Republican Congress disciplined him. It's not disciplining Bush. It's giving him whatever we wants, which is why we're $500 billion in the hole.

The problem with a Kerry presidency besides the fact that he makes Klinton look conservative.

1. Judges. Do you really think Orrin Hatch and Arlen Specter will play hardball on judges?

2. We don't know who will be in Congress. The dems could take it back for all I know.

3. Foreign Policy - Will Kerry step up to the UN on treaties? Small Arms treaty for example.

4. Cabinent - Klinton's boy in HUD brokered the Smith and Wesson Sellout.

5. Attorney General - Ashcroft sucks, Kerry would probably bring in Schumer.

I can understand a 3rd party vote, but Jane Fonda Kerry?

A vote for Kerry is a vote for Marxism, enjoy it.

I think it's a poor stacking of priorities to deliberately try to divide the government by putting a Dem in the White House on purpose.... to serve what, exactly? Budget is very important, but if we allow it to be the only value we hold dear then we lost all the other values deliberately and can't help but lose "budget" in the end, too.

The last Dem in the White House subjugated our soldiers to the U.N., sold some of our military advantage to China, allowed North Korea to fill it's pockets with nukes, let Saddam smack us around on the International stage making us look very weak, and allowed Osama to go unpunished and growing arrogant enough to put together an army and coordinate 9/11...

It didn't matter how many GOP'ers we had in D.C., we couldn't stop him from doing all of the above as CIC. Any more of this and there won't BE an America TO budget.

In all fairness, that scumbag lying POS LBJ (hey, where are all the "If he's from Texas, you know he's good!" people when you mention that name?), he didn't start the Vietnam war, although he certainly did turn it into the most profitable meatgrinder in history.
