I never cease to be amazed at the idiot-fringe who insist "there is just no difference between the two major parties." On another thread today, some nitwit asked, "what is the difference between Bush and Leahy--Leahy is against Pickering, but Bush is against Israel!" Now someone who thinks along those lines is beyond redemption.
On the other hand, there are a number of "Accidental Democrarts" who should know better. These are the people who vote for 3rd Party candidates because Bush is not doctrinaire enough for their tastes. By withholding a vote from Bush, they are actually voting to elect the liberal Dem, and they could bring us the second President Clinton. They would deseve such a fate, BUT I DON'T !!!!
Here's my contribution to just some of the differences between Bush and the Dems--the nomination of solid, sensible conservative judges to the bench instead of socialist whackos who want the Feds to nanny us to death. Here's another--cutting taxes instead of raising them. Or how about fighting a war to win it, instead of coming over as politically correct? Or recognizing America, as a free country, is SUPERIOR to third world dictatorships, instead of bowing down to the altar of cultural diversity and moral relativism? Protecing U.S. soveriegnty vs. the Kyoto Treaty and International Criminal Court? School choice vs domination by teacher's unions. Their relative positions on abortion.
You got it right---it's the loonies and nutcases who don't see the difference--and they may stick you and me with a Hildabeast or other Clinton-equilivant, if the election is close enough.
I get really steamed at these Accidental Democrats.
