I can't imagine anyone who voted for Dubya NOT voting for him again, while those who held their nose and voted for ALGORE are most certainly firmly encamped with the President now. The neo-commies will still vote for the 'Rats, but the great middle loves this President.

I can, if

1. he supports the federal ban on assault weapons like his spokesman says he will.

2. he doesn't do something about controlling the borders.

3. he doesn't manage to lower taxes like he promised instead of small incremental changes.

4. he continues to promote bigger government instead of smaller goverment.

5. he tries to ride the coattails of the Iraqi war for re-election like his daddy did with the first Gulf war.

6. he carries through with the Patriot Act II.

Nobody's perfect. 'W''s lowered taxes, more to come

Cutting taxes will shrink govt. not far down the line...he sure as hell isn't a proponent of bigger govt. 'W' wanted private airport screeners, not govt. workers.

How do we propose to protect the borders without growing government? It's not feasible. The Patriot Act might help catch the undesirables. Creating an environment so that Mexicans don't need to earn money here will help limit overwhelming numbers.

What indications do you have that he's riding coatails of the war? Do you think this man is stupid, unable to learn from his father's mistakes?

You've named some tough nuts to crack, but if anyone can solve it, it's this team.

Your #2 is the killer for me. Uncontrolled illegal immigration will result in the destruction of this country. Bush has shown no inclination to deal with the problem of 10 million illegal aliens in this country. The melting pot philosophy that made this country strong is dead. We are becoming something more akin to the former Yugoslavia.

If Bush doesn't change his pandering for the multicultural vote by weakening our borders and devaluing legal immigration channels, t will not vote for him again. I can't stomach voting for a dem, but I'll just go fishing. Bush is taking too much of his base for granted and 2004 is not in the bag.

To those who say not voting for Bush is just bringing on a worse alternative, I say that we must endure the pain to stop the slow, "boiled frog," slide to our destruction.

You forgot #7.

7. No more campaign promises broken (i.e. un-Constitutional campaign finance restrictions)

Apparently, you and I are about the only ones in that corner in this forum, Gummy

And WhaChu makes four. I have the luxury of voting in a state, AL, that did and WILL go to Bush.

#18 he sure as hell isn't a proponent of bigger govt

Then why did he let Dead Kennedy write the education spending bill?

Cutting taxes will shrink govt. not far down the line

Yeah, right. Worked real well for Reagan, didn't it? As most right-thinkers know, reducing an excessive tax burden to the small degree W has proposed will, probably sooner than later, result in ADDITIONAL revenue, and thusly more, not less, spending. Of course, not changing the Alternative Minimum Tax will eliminate much of that tax cut he worked hard for, so I guess government doesn't get to grow as much - of course, that's less change in your pocket, less economic growth, and less chance of finding better employment. Also, not reducing or even increasing the complexity in the code inherently makes government more powerful.

#24 Nice to see that #3 still hangs out on FR to whine

So expressing concern about continual violations of my inherent rights is "whining". Nice call, Commie.

One question for the "GOP or Bust" crowd: if a President and his party is either unwilling to eliminate governmental violations of Constutitional rights or, worse, contributes to those violations, why vote for them? Why give them credit for sending the military to eliminate imminent threats to our nation and our rights (as was Hussein) when they before, during, and after continue to violate those rights themselves?
