Same old canard - vote Republican because we can win. . . BAH! The lesser of two evils is still evil.

Always better to use trite catchphrases than to really think about the issues, isn't it?

If you're given the choice between being shot in the head or punched in the shoulder, are you indifferent between the two? Why? After all, the lesser of two evils is still evil, right?

The canard isn't "Vote for Bush because we can win." It's "Vote for Bush because he's infinitely better than Kerry."

"Always better to use trite catchphrases than to really think about the issues, isn't it?...If you're given the choice between being shot in the head or punched in the shoulder, are you indifferent between the two? Why? After all, the lesser of two evils is still evil, right?...The canard isn't "Vote for Bush because we can win." It's "Vote for Bush because he's infinitely better than Kerry.'"

Well, I HAVE thought about it, trite catchphrase or not. I will not let the threat of terrorism cause me to abandon my principles. I will never vote for a president who singlehandedly did more damage to the Constitution than any other president in our nation's history by signing Campaign Finance Reform. Never before have we ever seen such a blatant attack on the First Amendment of the Constitution, and for that, I will NEVER forgive him.

Bush is "Infinitely" better than Kerry? Let's see: There's virtually no differences with their plans in Iraq. Kerry's not going to abandon the hunt for Al Queda. They both are against gay marriage. They both wanted government coverage for prescription drugs -- and got it. Both came out against free speech with respect to 527 groups. Both have no interest in securing the borders. Both want to grow the size of the federal government, and have absolutely no plans to diminish it. And both candidates LOVE to spend our money. So tell me, what is so "infinitely" better about Bush?

Your analogy between getting shot in the head and punched in the shoulder is severely flawed. I know we're talking semantics here but, being shot in the head is murder -- which is evil. Being punched in the shoulder can be playful, or a mere annoyance. Huge distinction there. The differences between Bush and Kerry are no further than the difference between Coke and Pepsi.

Badnarik is the only clear choice for a return to constitutional government.
