I do not yet know whom I will vote FOR. All that I can be certain of is who will NOT get my vote.

It's certain that it WON'T be one of the Rats and it WON'T be Dubya.

That's because I no longer vote for the letter behind the name, but rather, the person behind the name. I vote for the best of all of the "acceptable" candidates. After Dubya's open-door immigration policy, the (ANTI)Patriot Act, his unilaterally denying the Constitutional rights of a US citizen, his record expansion of federal government police and surveillance powers and record deficit spending, he can no longer be considered to be even, remotely conservative and has, therefore, become "unacceptable". I'll wait to see who the Constitution and Libertarian parties run.

After all, the lesser evil is still ... evil. Supporting Dubya, because he is the lesser evil, is only slightly different than supporting Kerry, because he is better than Hillary. The only difference is the letter after the name of one of the candidates and Dubya has proven that he doesn't give a d@mn about what that letter stands for.

Why don't you just save your time and stay home on Election Day?

The rest of us will be out doing our part to stop Al Qaeda in spite of you.

Hey Best President Reagan:

Are you aware that in 1983 he signed the largest tax increase in american history? Are you also aware he legalized abortion in Califoria in 1967 and gave amnesty to illegal immigrants in 1986? He was a huge huge supporter of government subsidzed retirement programs long after he switched parties to the GOP

there was a good article about conservatives and a hilucination they have called "Ideal Reagan" who never actually existed.

You're kidding right? YOu're telling me that as I sit here, a soldier in Baghdad Iraq that what President Bush is doing is worthless? That his efforts...MY efforts at making our country safer are all for nothing?

Be careful Action...the black helicopters are circling your hosue as we speak...make sure your tinfoil hat is in place.


Liberaltarian votes are wasted votes just as a vote was for Perot and vote for Nader will be.

People like you who help support the rats through non-action and stupid votes for people who don't have a snowballs chance of geting elected gave us Bill Clinton and threaten to give us John F'n Kerry or worse Hitlary herself.

YAWN!

Typical crap.

First, Bush's immigration ideas when it comes to our southern border IS NOT POLICY! It's a PROPOSAL. Learn to speak English before you engage your brain.

Second, point out anything in the Patriot Act as unconstitutional. You can't. It's that simple. Facts don't lie.

Third, what citizens are being denied their Constitutional rights? Name one besides Padilla! NAME ONE! I dare you. Oh, you can't. Padilla was declared an enemy combatant and will be getting a hearing in the Supreme Court...sounds like his rights are being protected to me when it comes to due process. I couldn't get the Supreme Court to hear my case if I was arrested for less given our laws.

Four, wouldn't beefing up our security forces to stop terrorism thus lead to more police and surveillance? Are you saying you want to deny the government the same resources they are given to fight organized crime and drug cartels in their fight against terrorism that has cells within our own country? Boy, that's short sighted and a jerk of the knee.

Five, any real conservative knows and understands that the deficit means nothing. It's meaningless when we are in such a change. And measuring it totally by the whole number is ludicrous if you don't take into account the percentage of GDP or the percentage of the federal budget.

As you grow older and make more income you move up from a Chevy to a Cadillac. Thus, your deficit of owing more on a car is a new record for you but ignores the fact you are capable of running a debt to obtain it.

So please, vote for someone that will never win and will never do anything and will never grow their voting base near as fast as would be required to make a real difference. But if you like slow progress, then by all means knock yourself out. At the rate it's going, the next Libertarian or Green or Conservative or any other third party will win the White House sometime in, say, 4052.
