Intellectually dishonest? Look I don't know who your ideal candidate is(a question that is never answered by the terminal Bush bashers on FR, btw), and Bush is not perfect and never will be, but he is 1000 times better than the other candidate(Gore) who had a legitimate shot at the Presidency in 2000 and is 1000 times better than any of the present demo candidates for 2004.
If that is intellectually dishonest to you, so be it. That is your right just like it is my right to criticize your perpetual quest for the 100% politically pure perfect candidate.
Just my opinion, but someday you are going to find out the fact that the world is not 100% politically perfect and does not revolve around you.
I'm outta here for the night, carry on with your perpetual malcontentism.
