But I've always made the votes necessary to best "advance" my ideals and desires, and always will. And that has included a few libertarians at the local level.
I refuse to throw my vote away in protest and I won't just give up.
Like you, Governor Bush wasn't my first choice, but two things changed that.
1) He became one of two choices, and
2) The more I studied what he had done in Texas the more I became interested in the man. He does what he thinks is right, regardless of whichever party he offends.
And while he doesn't do everything I want, and does things I don't like, I don't think he's doing a half bad job and if the Republicans in Congress had any spine I think he'd do a far better job.
And I don't have any illusions about November. There are two choices: President Bush and John Kerry. Now I'm going to do everything in my power to get the President re-elected, and to get him and the GOP to do what I want them to.
