Number one.......I am NOT talking about the President's father.........I am talking about the President.

They are two very different men.

From your post at #259:
*Proverbs 26: 11........" As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly."
**A proverb for all who voted for Perot in 1992, and plan on voting 3rd party in 2004 to 'teach Bush a lesson

You were comparing 2004 to 1992, when Perot picked up votes that Bush 41 lost, and from there our conversation has ensued.
The lesson of 1992 is "don't squander your votes." It applies to every politician, including the current President Bush.

I hold Bush41 accountable in running a very poor campaign. He made a few decisions I didn't agree with, but I frankly thought anyone voting for Perot had his head in the sand about how evil xlinton was. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I agree.
However, we have to face the fact that many voters will always be less informed, and also that not every informed voter is going to think as we do.
And uninformed votes count just as much as ours do.

Illegal aliens are pretty much the only thing you post about, Saber. It isn't too much of a stretch to say that it is your priority, if not your only issue. If I'm wrong, it's because I read what you say, and can't assess what you never say.

No, they pretty much aren't the only thing I post about, but they have been an area of concern for me for years. Since you live in Ohio, one can understand why they aren't a concern of yours.
So, I've intermittently spent a fair amount of time on those threads, and have made myself knowledgable on the subject, such that I can cut through a lot of the Bush Administration spin and the ensuing cheerleading from those inclined to believe it. I've brought a lot of information to the table in this forum, and I'm not clear as to why that would bother you.

The President will defend the sanctity of marriage because he believes in it. 'Slow off the mark' is not something I consider hard evidence against him.

Then you haven't paid attention. The consequences of Lawrence v. Texas were inevitable the moment the SCOTUS handed it down last Summer, and farsighted folks got going on a CMA while President Bush hemmed and hawed. I was quite pleased with his belated support for a CMA which was indicated at the SOTU, in fact I thought it was the high point of his speech. To date, however, President Bush has been quite flatfooted on the CMA.

And you guess why I'd want to take you off the list..........you'd probably be right.

I'm of no mind to read minds. You should speak yours.

I understand what you're saying, Saber, but I see two levels of comparison here. One is to the two Presidents who are different people in different situations, and the other is the conservative voters, screaming on this forum that they will vote third party because the President is not making them happy enough, and are willing to risk the very future of this country by enabling a Kerry election (which, IMO is exactly what they did in 92.....the folly in the Proverb).

btw, I'm not interested in a debate on that issue here. I'll just assume you disagree with me.

Secondly, I really don't appreciate the 'you're from Ohio' so you don't care about immigration line. It's not as pressing an issue here, of course, but it is of great concern to me.

And all I can do is read the posts that I see of yours, and I haven't seen many on any other issue for the past month. Granted, I don't follow you around. I only observe what you say on the threads I'm on, and they seem to be almost entirely about one issue, and one issue alone.

As to the Dose, I'd rather answer that privately, so I'll freep you later.
