Voting for a President who supports Specter over Toomey in the primary is the problem.

Really? Who did John Kerry support? Sheesh. The 2004 presidential election was the ultimate no-brainer.

Granted, we all *thought* he was a conservative, so there we go.

Not really. I think even his critics--and I'm no bot--must admit GWB has for the most part done exactly the things he said he would do. Even the abhorrent stuff. His immigration policy is exactly what he described way back in 2000. His stupid medicare bill was promised as far back as 99. The only area where he really contradicted his campaign promises was on foreign policy. He was supposedly opposed to nation building, but somehow, ragheads blowing up buildings in NYC and DC magically made nation building sensible. But besides that, he's been just what he said he'd be.

Exactly- which brings us back to the issue of voting for the lesser of two evils in the general election.

The primary of 2000 is really the beginning of this whole argument- and I did not support Bush in that election. After I had no choice, I did- but now with this border issue, many many people are having second thoughts about the usefulness of that strategy.

I'm still not decided.

He promised to veto McCain Feingold, but he signed it into law.
