I thought voting for Bush was smart.

Tell me, what did that get the country?

A little time. His hands were tied on many things, but he did set a trap to weaken the big spenders in the near future (debt, default). That might be the only thing keeping them from planting us all before long (lack of funding).

Not having Al Gore as president on 9/11. Sometimes you have to vote for the best alternative, rather than allowing the worst alternative to win. In my 62 years, I have rarely been able to vote for someone who really excited me.

I will vote for Trump, if he gets the nomination, even though I realize he is not a Conservative (he is conservative on a few issues, but has never demonstrated that by his actions or donations).
