"tell me why I should vote again for GWB, feel free."

The choice this election is between Bush and Kerry. There are other minor candidates on some state ballots that are surefire losers. And, yes, you could write in a candidate. Both of these options are tantamount to throwing your vote away at best, and allowing Kerry to win at worst.

Bush may not be your ideal candidate. Candidates never are. Even Reagan had problems. But when you run in a pluralistic and diverse nation that happens to be the leader of the free world you can't run purely on ideology. Pragmatism has to rule the day. Their are unholy alliances that will be made and Hobson's choices to be decided on. As the Rolling Stone's sing "you can't always get what you want, but you get what you need."

Let's look back to 9/11. Imagine if Al Gore was president. He'd get up on his pulpit. Rant and rave. But would he actually do anything other than issue a few subpoena to Al Qaida? Maybe start up a few union based agencies. Saddam would still be in power, paying of homicide bombers in the West Bank, and trying to steal nukes from some Soviet breakaway state, or maybe even China. Do you honestly think Kerry would act differently? They have the same exact mindset that terrorism is a legal matter.

You can vote for whom you like, but only one candidate, George W. Bush, has the record of taking the fight to the terrorists. One one candidate has the record of supporting the troops. Only one candidate has the record of consistently supporting Israel against the terrorists who seek to destroy her. One only candidate has a record of fighting for tax cuts for ALL taxpayers.

In addition to this record, Bush has nominated suburb judges; ones that Kerry has vote to prevent from being seated. By not voting for Bush, you must have great confidence that Kerry will nominate such judges that believe in the text of the Constitution as its written rather than as they want it to be written. If you like the decisions of Ginsburg and Breyer, then vote for Kerry, but don't call yourself a conservative if you do so.

In the end, this election is not about conservatism though. Its about America. One candidate want to preserve our freedoms and way of life, the other thinks we should delegate it to the UN.

The choice is clear. It may not be perfect, but it is clear. If you need to be reminded or educated about this you just are not paying enough attention to events.
