What's the difference between Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, or Howard Dean as President and George W. Bush ?
Do the words honor, duty, country mean nothing to you ?
Do you not care that Islamic terrorists crashed planes into our principal city and capital and want to completely destroy our nation ?
No, I think not. You want to pimp political equivalence. After 8 long years of Bill and Hillary Clinton polluting the White House, after the first attacks on our capital since 1812, after the brave heroism of American service members, I don't want to hear your garbage. Treason, cowardice, and surrender are not on my shopping list this year.
I have wrestled with a lot of these dilemmas over the course of the last two years in large part because, going to the UN aside, I've approved of Bush's foreign policy and am quite frankly terrified at the prospect of Dean getting into office because of what he would do to us in regards to the war.
On the other hand, Bush's domestic policy has been far, far from ideal especially on the areas of fiscal conservatism with his government spending spree as well as social conservativism with his extreme reluctance to throw his support behind Senator Frist's DMA or even to address the kind of judicial abuse that led to the DMA being needed to begin with.
Now what I like to try to remain hopeful of is that Bush is going to recognize that he is losing horribly with his base and make changes to rectify his mistakes - otherwise I see a very real scenario where a low conservative turn-out could give us a President Dean. And if that happens, God help us all.
