"Confused"? No rational being can deny that a vote for Bush in 2000 was a vote for socialism. He did not run on a platform of shrinking government programs. He didn't even run on the status quo. He came out on favor of expanding Medicare.
We are mired in socialism, and getting deeper with each passing administration. Neither of the two parties is going to nominate anyone who'll dare change that direction. The reality is, a vote for anyone other than Bush was at least in effect a vote for even more socialism under President Gore.
If anyone's "confused," it's those who have somehow convinced themselves that Bush or any major party candidate has the intestinal fortitude to reverse our socialist course.
So, who do you anticipate you'll be voting for in November, 2004?
