No, I'm not a Democrat. In fact I've held Republican Party positions. This election I expect to vote straight Republican except for Governor. On the theory divided government's the best we can do this year, I expect to vote for McBride for Governor. Incidentally, I've previously voted for Bush.

That is an exact description of me and how I feel. It is also a good description of many of my Republican and Democratic associates. It says much about the difficulties of our times, when the best we can hope for is split government. It also says much about the party hacks that they have no clue or care as to how we feel. But the saddest ones of all are those feeble sheep who blindly follow and "Baa" at others who don't docilely follow them to slaughter.

You two guys have a habit of overlooking every good thing Gov Bush has done in his term in office which even you, as diehard conservatives, could be very proud of. He promised to ban partial birth abortion; he did. Would you prefer he take the McMumble position on this and every issue, and mumble about it? He promised to cut the size of government, and he DID - he eve got sued for doing it. And, you can ask just about any Dem voter who works in state government, and they wil ltell you all above "Service First," Gov. Bush's initiative to cut government. Gov Bush wanted parents to have more choice in education - and FL is the only state in this country to have not one, not two, but three voucher programs. Are these "liberal" ideas run amuck in FL? Yes, Gov Bush has also managed to win the endorsement of the largest Jewish publication (The Jewish Journal), and has appealed to many teachers (including myself) and independents, but so what? Did you want every voter to run away from a solid record that you two both ignore?

FYI - Gov Bush's Accomplishments

Where is McMumble's record on the issues of concern to FL voters??? Where are McMumble's actual positions on these issues? Where is something beside mumbling from your preferred candidate???
