No doubt I'll get flamed out of existence for posting this particular story.......but I found it compelling.....and truthful for the most part. If someone can counter this author and tell me why I should vote again for GWB, feel free.

Because John Kerry will get us killed by the thousands if elected.

The mere fact that you on this particular date in time need to ask the question for reasons you should vote for President Bush is not a pretty picture.

I doubt that there is anything, anyone could say to you to make you vote for President Bush, so why bother to waste time and space.

Don't feel bad for not being a hero worshipper. So many people have such boring lives they try to dream or hope for salvation outside themselves.
Rugged individualism is dead in America.
I wouldn't worry about being flamed. I respect your courage for taking on the masses.
I do it myself on occassions.

Nothing wrong with criticism -- President or otherwise.

I found nothing compelling in the article; perhaps you could site a specific point you that sways you from voting for America?

Ill give you another Theodore Roosevelt quote....maybe you can identify which candidate embodies who he is talking about and which candidate is the one we dont want to be...

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
--Theodore Roosevelt; US President

If we REALLY need to answer that question for you, than you are truly living up to your screen name.

News flash:

This is 2004, a general election, and is Bush v Kerry.

The Republican primary is 2008.

Once again we have an obvious liberal complaining that GWB isn't conservative enough. "truthful for the most part?" give me a break, this article has every half truth available to the liberal elite. If you've been around here since 2001 and can't see through the smoke, there's not much anyone can do for you.

You won't get flamed over the story because nobody will bother to read it. Nobody will bother to read it because the premise is stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

The next President of the United States will be George W. Bush or John F. Kerry. If any conservative says that it would be better for John F. Kerry to be President, they are being stupi. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

A better question is, why should you vote FOR John Kerry?

I don't agree with everything contained in that article, but it does point to an interesting trend in U.S. politics these days. One of the things we don't have in this country is a major clash of ideas on a national level -- candidates for the two major parties have gradually converged to the point where they are almost identical in their outlook and political philosophy. If nothing else, this makes for dull, boring campaigns over inconsequential issues.

In 2004, the Vietnam War issue has become the focal point of this campaign for two reasons: 1) there's nothing else for these two candidates to talk about, and 2) the effective, hard-hitting Swiftboat Vets' ads are the kind of thing EVERY campaign advertisement should be.

For the most part, I agree with you. The question is, who else would you vote for, that still has a chance of winning? Surely you're not suggesting to vote for F'n, simply because W isn't far enough right?

Okay. 1. I read this article, it bemaons the many things about Bush that are not conservative, Then, point for point rebuts with "democrat" talking points. I do not know the reputation of your source but it's tone is pessimistic and comes off as being a liberal trying to argue consevative theory and doing a poor job of it.

2. Yes, the President is not a conservative in the old GOP tradition, I wish that he were. I would like nothing better than to see the US return to the Monroe/T Roosevelt doctine and begin over the coming years to extricate ourselves from the rest of the world and concentrate on the western hemisphere. No matter who we elect in the next 50 years that will not happen.

3. The one and only choice for anyone with a drop of consevative blood is Bush. Kerry is weak, spineless, and will have this country groveling before the UN if he is allowed to come to power. I genuinely fear that, God forbid, a two term Kerry presidency will leave this country as somthing we would all be horrified to see. That alone is the reason to vote for Bush. Yes he is the lesser of evils you might say, but he is much much ... much lesser than the alternative.
