...works for me. Why give the next one more ammo (revenues)? Spend all that can possibly be spent on defense now, then let the next Democrat try to come up with enough to break all of the remaining marriages, violate more property rights, more closely surveil all citizens, grow the government big enough to get a permanent Democrat majority, etc. I would rather starve than be messed with by bureaucrat busybodies.

Whoa. Reading that required me to downshift a couple gears. Let me try to decipher what you are trying to say....

First off, no democrat or republican is going to break up my marriage. I am sorry for you that yours is so vulnerable.

W's inflation of the Department of Education, Medi-care, and the now-national homogenous federal police force collectively known as the Department of Homeland Security (don;t we all feel so much more secure) is growth of the bureaucracy you claim to dislike. Guess the next administration will have to undo what W has done.

Mine is probably stronger than yours. Many women have been told by social workers to leave their husbands or lose their kids. People who trust big government (AKA Democrats), though, say it couldn't happen unless something were wrong with the family.

Congress has inflated government--both Democrats and Republicans. Don't feed me your anti-Bush propaganda with your insults.

It is obvious that you would rather have Kerry for President.

Here's a sample of my level of respect for our current choices in third parties.

LOL. The argument is not YOUR marriage or his marriage or my marriage, it's the institution of marriage itself that's at stake. And through that our society, our lives and our freedom. Marriage and the family that comes with it is the backbone of all societies. Without it, we descend into chaos and anarchy, and naturally, the government will step in with a solution. Rather than traditional family units we will have government legislated (regulated and enforced) units. All persons will be wards of the state.

Bob Barr voted in favor of those. Bob should learn more about the socialist tactic of incrementalism--what socialists often call "gradualism." It might help with his indecisiveness on who to vote for in the Presidential Election.

Many of our congressmen and some of their constituents get in the way of our winning on many issues in any one term--especially those in the Senate. Too many of them want more funding to go to their own locales.

And as for getting attention, Bob won't get much positive attention by ranting against the policies our our President--policies that he voted in favor of.

BTW, Kerry recently complained in the debates that the President didn't spend nearly enough federal funds on education, more police in municipalities, etc. So we know where Kerry wants to go with those few domestic issues among the many.
