Yes, there are. But there are a lot of decent Republicans, too, and most of them are much better than any Democrat. I can't think of a single Democrat whom I would trust or vote for. Can you?

Perhaps one or two, but nobody that comes to mind at this moment. As for Senators there are none. As for House members there may be a couple. Your point is a good one. However there are plenty of Republicans I would no longer vote for. Trent Lott is one of them. So is Warren Hatch.

Jim I know a lot of folks think I fold at the drop of a feather, but I don't see it that way. I simply cannot fathom Bush joining with Ted Kennedy on a $300 billion plus healthcare fiasco. I can't sign onto the medication package for Medicare. Both will break the bank. Both will contribute further to ruin what dismal healthcare that is left in this nation.

I can't sign on to a $40 billion increase in the DOE, a Department I don't just dislike, but despise. I can't sign on to legalizing illegal immigrants and leaving the borders open. Our Navy has 310 out of 600 ships left from Reagan in has been budgeted to drop further in upcoming years.

Look I could go on like this for a while. But there are things I like about Bush. He is an honest family man. I appreciate the fact that he is not schtooping the White House interns and anything else flying under the radar. But that isn't the same as being a true conservative.

Bush is still supporting the trade with China that sees our technology gifted to them. Our R&D is slipping away to them as well. These are critical matters that aren't even on his radar.

I know people think it's easy for us to carp. The fact is it's easy to become complacent and accept what we have for now, because it could be a lot worse. Folks, it could be a whole lot better, let me tell you.

Zell Miller in my state isn't bad, but I'm still going to vote against him (again) in 2006 if he doesn't switch parties.
