Fortunately fer me, I live in Virginia, where we ALWAYS give our electoral votes to the GOP candidate fer POTUS. Dubyuh will get Virginia's 13 electoral votes this November as well. My vote will not impact the election one way or the other.
"Hasn't he earned your vote by protecting us from grave danger and mass death? Hasn't he earned your vote by strengthening and supporting the military? Hasn't he earned your vote with strong pro-Life positions and strong pro-family, moral stances? Hasn't he earned your vote by behaving honorably and with dignity, telling the truth, and telling it straight?"
I am a LOYAL supporter of Dubyuh on all these issues; however, when it comes to the issue of the Size and Scope of the Federal Leviathan, I reckon I'm sorta stubborn on that.
"Why does he have to DO anything specific to guarantee your vote in November? Where is the line for you? How many things does he have to do that agree with you before he 'earns' your vote? (You know that I don't agree with everything he's done either........)"
I've been working fer 20 years to get to a point where we have a GOP Congress and a GOP White House simultaneously. Then, when we finally accomplish that, I am struck by the FACT that Federal spending has grown 24% in three years. Adding 24% to an already HUGHly-bloated Federal Leviathan is like spitting in my face. I don't like it when anybody spits in my face, not even Dubyuh!!
"You know I love you, MUD, but you're not making sense here."
I love you, too, ma'am, and hope this has somehow clarified my position. Considering the fact that I've voted Reagan/Bush/Bush/Dole/Bush since I've been eligible, I'm not taking this stance lightly. I realize this is an important election, but Dubyuh knows how to earn my vote...the next move's his.
Think about it, ma'am...if we froze Federal spending fer the next three years, we'd still have grown the Federal Leviathan by 4% per annum (24%/6 years). Too much growth fer me, but acceptable considering the present political climate!!

Where you still lose me is any hesitation of voting for him when you know that the alternative is unthinkable.
I also agree with voicing displeasure, but in the voting booth, it's all about the survival of this nation, IMO.
It won't matter how much we spend on prescription drugs and education if we're all dead.
