And I am growing in my affection for Bush. I voted for him out of a loathing for Clinton-Gore more than anything else. I have been pleasently surprised by his actions.

I confess too a certain fondness for the man; I liked his father and many other Republicans as people and still do. Unfortunately I can no longer separate the people from the policies. As thoroughly decent and likable as our president is I know he isn't the kind of leader I can vote for to represent my libertarian beliefs because simply said he doesn't share many of them.

Well, you're a Libertarian. From your profile page, it appears that you are active in the party. It is not something for which I would criticize you. And I certainly do not reject your policies out of hand.

I'll say this, though. Most of the votes I have cast for third parties I have regretted. I certainly hope Simon wins in California.
