Bob Smith was a good, dedicated Senator. He had a solid Conservative voting record. His statement, endorsing Kerry--which gave his reasons--does not appear in this thread, and I do not have it handy to quote. But that is not the point, anyway.
I do not agree with Bob Smith in endorsing Kerry. I do agree with him in not supporting Bush. I also agree with Mel Gibson's "lemons" remark of the other day.
The choice between the major candidates is pathetic. Bob Smith has elected what he, rightly or wrongly, considers the lesser evil. I cannot vote for the lesser of two evils. But I will stand up for Bob, as a man of principle. The suggestion that he acted out of bitterness, alone, is ridiculous.
I will not vote for either Bush or Kerry. Some of the loud keyboards here can make the most of that, but I seriously doubt if you really want to debate the point. In my opinion, neither Bush nor Kerry would have been morally fit to groom George Washington's horse. They have taken our politics to a new all time low.
You're living in a fantasy world.
I guess Bob Smith must be one of those principled pro-choice "conservatives." Who knew?
Bob Smith's principles are to Bob Smith. That you think otherwise and other comments in this post prove that some people will justify anything. No way in hell can a conservative support Kerry, not if he is a real conservative. Anyone who justify's this for Bob is delusional.
