You can't have it all your way. That's not how politics works.

You've got to vote for the candidate that MORE CLOSELY resembles your political leanings. When you vote for a whacko like Puchannan, you risk ballsing it up even worse. It's a two-party system.

I'm sorry that Puchannan never had a hope of being a viable candidate, but you guys have got to let it go. Your constant inflexible harping makes you sound just as irrational as the extreme left. How embarrasing to you, and to all of us, as well. Other people read this site besides just the posters......

Prediction: This is the part where you accuse me of being a liberal (just like Bush), and tell me that I must not love America or the Constitution. Just trying to save you a little typing; I've been watching you beat this same dead horse through the entire thread.

We'll be sure to thank you if your voting for the next Perot puts a true liberal in office.

No, that's not what we were told during Clintoon's reign. We were told, by candidates, mainstream and alternative talkradio and fellow freepers that to not stand on the courage of our convictions (meaning having it our way) then we were no better than the liberals. We were told by the above, including the 20 million listener a week giant, that compromise was not good.

I argued for years that's not how politics works. I was told I was wrong. Now I'm being told that's how politics works.

Like Vinny Barerino on Kotter, "I'm so confused!"

With respect, I think you missed the point of my reply.

I am fed up with people who defend the indefensible. Instead of hurling insults when someone exposes another of Bush's liberal cave-in, his apologists chalk it up to brilliant politics just as clinton's apologists. You may admire a brilliant politician and if you do then you are saying that the duplicity of your guy is ok, but, the other guy is a lowlife for doing the same thing.

Politicians are about "personal" power and they are not really interested in our well being. Just look at how they raise their salaries, how they spend our money, how they bail-out businesses which should be allowed to fail from their own incompetance.

The tax cuts? A laugh, because they will add fees or increase taxes on gas, electricity, sales and a myriad of other essential items.

An objective overview of Bush's policies will show that the liberal's and democrat's eat at his table while we receive crumbs. I know I can't expect 100% as respects policy, however, I do expect 100% compliance with their sworn oath to uphold the Constitution. I do not accept the lie that it is done for my "security. That is BS. It's a abject grab for more power over our lives.

JFTR, I am registered as a "declined to state" on the sunny left coast, therefore I hold no party affiliation.

I am suggesting you connect the dots and not blindly follow anyone just because he/she is the best of a bad lot, you know, the lesser of two evils (that's not to call anyone evil).

P.S Don't assume I voted for Pat or Ross or anyone else. For sure, I did not vote for Bush or Gore.
