That's a little bit of an open ended question, but I assume you are talking about voting for non-mainstream candidates. I did not vote for Bush in 2000. I disagree with much of his domestic agenda. I can't stand the increases in the size and cost of government that we have seen in this administration. I think that the majority of Republicans in power, including those in the White House, have an open contempt for true conservatives. (Just think Toomey) I get frustrated over the people on this forum who, when confronting someone who disagrees with the President, respond by saying, "You aren't going to find someone who agrees with you 100% of the time." I would settle for more than 50%.
That being said, I am a one-issue voter, this time around. That issue is the safety and sovereignty of our country. My opposition to Medicare Drugs or the Department of Education, etc. doesn't matter a whole lot when a nuke is detonated in Manhattan. Therefore, the only choice is to support our current Commander-in-Chief and do anything in our power to make sure that Bush stays in that position.
An intelligent post intelligently thought through. I agree with much of what you say. These are difficult times, and the future is fraught with danger. One of my fears is the Ronnie came 20 years too soon, but there's not much we can do about that, is there?
