That is what they told us about "W", to scare us with Gore and Lurch, but look at what we got ANYWAY. Talk about crippling taxes to begin with. You tell me, which party was in the White House and did not stand up to Congressional Spending over the last 7 years and submitted back-breaking, nanny-state budgets?
10 million illegal aliens and a victorious North Korea later.....
Sorry.
Been there. Done that.
Logic does not hold.
Most people in most states will have at least THREE choices on their November ballot.

I know where our family votes (4 of them) will be parked in November.
Crippling taxes? Bush undid much of the Clinton tax increases, and after 9/11 had to increase defense spending. Did discretionary spending increase too? Undoubtedly. Could he have pressured congress to rein in spending, and kill earmarks? Maybe, but he was somewhat hamstrung in the rest of his agenda by the necessity of fighting a war; You only get so much political capital, and the most important thing for him to spend it on was the GWOT.
But tell me, do you think Gore or Kerry would have increased spending more, or less than Bush? What do you think they would have spent it on? Killing terrorists, or capping carbon emissions and expanding the welfare state?
Would Gore or Kerry have given us two solidly conservative justices on the Supreme Court? Or would we now be facing an insurmountable bias towards the judicial activism in support of the liberal agenda in that body?
Not even Ronald Reagan, God bless his soul, was perfect. John McCain would be orders of magnitude better for this country and the conservative agenda than an extremist like Barack Obama.
