I voted for Bush... really for only 2 reasons.
It is a given that all politicians are underhanded, crooked, powerhungry, self-involved, etc. and as George Carlin states, the fight for the presidency is like re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
#1 real reason, it that GW drew a line in the sand and turning our back on what we started will not fix anything... In for a penny, in for a pound.
#2 real reason, anything that Michael Moore and most of Hollywood agree on, I am against. And I really disagree with the Bush is Evil and Bush is Satan lines that I saw all over the place, there should be a bit more respect for the office, if not for the man.
The last election I voted for Nader for politcal reasons. Not for his platform, but because a 3rd party would stir the pot. Our current 2 party system doesn't leave much to choose from, as most people are moderate with strong views for some things and no concern for others. We are stuck either voting against 1 or 2 items that we are opposed to, instead of a candidate that has more items that we are for.
Why is it so hard to imagine being fiscally conservative (in general), while being pro-choice, believing in a strong military, and cheaper higher education?
