We hear this a lot. In truth, you'll vote for Bush if he promises you everything in the Kerry agenda and more. You are partisan voters. Nothing could keep you from voting Bush/GOP. Since your vote is already settled, you are the FRingers. Bush and Rove can take you for granted. Conservatives are the swing voters. Because Rove has failed to 'buy' the replacement voters they needed in order to dump us conservatives once and for all.

I rest my case.

[George W. Bush]

At least we then agree on who are partisans and who are conservatives and which group is the swing vote in '04.

Before I go and do the chores I have been ignoring (am getting the evil eye from Mr. Hilaryrhymeswithrich) I will say in closing,

I love my President. That does not make me a Bushbot, as some here seem to delight in saying. It merely means that for the things I agree with, he is right on, and for the ways he has disappointed me, I can keep working on him.

My husband, a wonderful man in a million ways, also pisses me off with a certain amount of regularity. He makes some good choices, and some dumb ones. We have three small children who depend on us to know the stuff that really matters and work through the rest.

Sure, I could dump him for the young hot pool boy or, better yet, sit out the courtship thing altogether. But where does that get my kids? Who am I punishing, really, for not towing the line?? Would we all be better off working as a team? He may make a few mistakes now and then, but are they irrevocable errors? Cheating, beating henious errors?? Or are they differences in style? Extremes that I may not argree with but hardly marriage ending.

So to all of you who sit out the Prom or dump W for the pool boy, I say thanks for nothing.
