I especially agree with point #17. Ohio is socially conservative, and will NEVER vote for Kerry.
btw, Mud.........I agree that the President is more conservative than he is governing. Just like Reagan.
Reality in the presidency means compromise. We might not agree with the compromises either of them made, but we know that they're both completely honorable men who compromise(d) only because it's necessary for what they consider(ed) the greater good.
That's what I'd like to change more than anything else, this incorrect notion that the only way to fix local problems is through Federal expenditures. The facts simply do not bear this out. We can easily devolve Federal spending and authority and responsibility from the Federal Leviathan and back to States, Localities, Neighborhoods, families, and Individuals!! It would be politically popular and great fer long-term economic growth...a home run all the way around!!
