This is why I'm somewhat dismayed to see some conservatives saying that if this vote or another vote (all of them important, by the way--not diminishing the issues here) doesn't go the right way, they'll vote for a third party candidate or even stay home. Yes, it's tempting, but it's also cutting off our own noses to spite our faces.
I'm not in favor of everything this administration has done (immigration problems being my major gripe), but all I have to do is look at the current Supreme Court--I have to realize that they are doing many of the important things this country needed to have done.
I happen to think Iraq is another--Clinton put it off and left it for the grown-ups to handle, and I pray we don't go all wobbly before it gets done.
Another thing to look at is the alternatives.
Could any conservative really think that Al Gore or John Kerry would be better for the country and conservative causes, not to mention the War on Terror? And the difference between President Bush and the Dems is NOT minor -- it may well mean the survival of the US, as we know it.
Carter is responsible for the Ayatollahs taking over Iran -- things would be very different, if we had a modern secular government in Iran today, as the Shah wanted.
And Clinton is responsible for Al Qaeda growing and Iraq spurning the UN resolutions.
I don't think we can afford another Dem in these critical times.
America's left wants to fight the war on terror with spitballs. Zell Miller was right!
