Because to give up 58 years of my life, without admitting all hope is lost, would be stupid. I still have hope. I will fight for it. But if it looks like we are dragging our economy back to 1931 and will re-elect another FDR, I'm out of here.

I just dont see it that way. There are going to be a lot more issues coming down the pike between now and 2004. I have been rereading through the posts, maybe Im wrong in mitigating the tax credit. But I just dont think this issue is important enough to turn on Bush. One thing I will retract; I just read Bushs condemnation of the Israelis bombing yesterday. Now that pisses me off. And thats an important issue as well.

It's not just this issue. Look at the entire record. I would not make a decision like this based on one issue. Principle is important to me. If we surrender that, why bother declaring that we are an honorable and just nation. We are no better than France when we surrender our principles.
