I voted for Pres. Bush. I'd do it again. There are times for 3rd party candidates, and my hope is they will be a force in the future, as they have been in our past history, ie abolition, womens right to vote, etc. This election was not one of those times. Single issue voting is a dangerous exercise.
Well 3rd parties will never be a force in the future as long as people vote for the perceived lesser of two evils. It's the old 2 party Beltway Shell Game played over and over again every 4 years.
The next presidential election in 2008 will be no different. The GOP will, whether fair or not, cast as the democratic candidate as the Devil Incarnate. The democrats will do the same with the republican candidate. Bottom Line: Nothing changes, globalism and the dissolution of America as a sovereign nation marches on.
Truth is neither of the Beltway Parties want 3rd parties to horn in on their lucrative duopoly on power and will fight tooth and nail “together” to make sure it does not happen. When you write the laws, you determine your future.
I'd generally agree with your assessment AuntB but whenever a reason was given around here as to why most Bush supporters were voting for Bush again it was nearly unanimous, it was his perceived leadership on the war on terror. Rarely were other reasons given.
I suppose it just depends on who gets to define "the single issue' that most people ended up voting for, one could very easily argue. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving Day.
