President Bush's re-election strategists plan to portray the November election as the first since the Reagan era to offer voters a stark choice between liberalism and conservatism.

It also is the first time in years that Republicans appear to be depriving Democrats of their traditional advantage in grass-roots politics.

I did all that in 2000, registered people, beat the drum, cajoled them to the polls, Freep in Dallas and Ft Worth, standing on street corners protesting the vote fraud in Florida and the rest of the nation, and for what? For Mexico to get more representation than Americans? The Farm Bill? CFR? The nation killing FTTA treaty? A President that "Feels it his duty to lead America into a new border-less society"? A President that "Would like to see a Free Trade Zone, (no borders), from the north of Canada to the tip of Cape Horn?

The choice between Bush and Kerry is so minimal as to which is more awful that it doesn't make a difference which wins. One will sell us out to globalist via a nation, sovereignty killing FTAA treaty, the other will sell out our sovereignty to the U.N. I cannot in good conscience, and duty to the ancestors that sacrificed for this nation, vote for a man who fully intends to end the idea of nationhood. Nor, allow the fact that I am a conservative be used to accomplish such an event. The Republican Party no longer represents conservatives, nor is there anything remotely conservative about the Republican Party.

Reagan said it best, "I didn't leave my party they left me". I feel sure Bush will find enough conservatives willing to hold their nose and vote for him again, after all, as we were reminded when they sneered in our face, "where else are they gonna go?". But it won't be me, as a registered independent, they have crossed the line of no return with me.

"Since they have moved to a safe state for W (South Dakota), their Libertarian votes won't make much difference in the Presidential race."

Laat election, the Losertarians turned out 1/3 of 1% of the entire vote.

Their best showing was 24 years ago.

I have only found one out of twenty people that plan on voting for him again here locally.

Translation: "19 of the 20 people still living in our Y2K bunker will not vote for New World Order Bildeburger-puppet secret-Masonic jack-booted Presidente Jorge Bush."

Have we ever had an election where the differences were so clearly etched?

i agree that the difference is quite stark. George Bush is a conservative that intends to DO things, not just talk about them and the pie in the sky conservative idealists cannot cope with a pragmatic Bush, so they will vote for Kerry? i can't think of anything more absurd.

No, it is idiotic, and the apparent demonstartion of that whole "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" axiom.

One will sell us out to globalist via a nation, sovereignty killing FTAA treaty

My lord. The Treaty probably got hashed out while surveying the giveback to Mexico,in a Black Helicopter FCOL...

I wish the president would just get out there and call the RATs and the media on all their lies. I wish he would go on the offensive against their nasty tactics and make sure that the people get both sides of the story. It won't make any difference to the hardened Bush haters, but it would make a big difference to the swing voters who have been influenced by their incessant barrage of negativity and assaults on the president.

Not only is every conservative I know planning to vote for Dubya, every democrat I know is as well -- all of them with great confidence in him.

"Did you know about Kerry's Vietnam service?"

Well, he was a war hero, you know. He just wasn't real clear for which side.

Kerry Honored by Vietnamese Communists

Reality check: Most conservatives will proudly vote for GWB in November.

The comical part is that people like you said the same thing about Reagan while he was President. Personally, I get tired of President Bush's religious rhetoric. They won't stop me from voting for him. At some point you have to realize that no President that you support will agree with 100%. Even though I have been disapointed in some his actions, and some of his strategy. I realize that he is a good man, and I want him to be the President for four more years.

It would make a difference to me, and I'm a small-l libertarian who's been exasperated by 99% of this administration's domestic policy.

The war on Islamic fascism is a life-and-death issue for America, I agree: but the administration's cringing, media-phobic response to the 9/11 commission and the "prison scandal" are causing me to doubt whether it has the will to victory.

Good post. It's important to state your opinion.

Duck your head though, soon the "compassionate conservatives" (AKA Republicans) will be here and they will attack you like the liberals only dream of.
