In this race, there are Democrats supporting Bush and we need more of them.
There are Libertarians supporting Bush and we need more of them.
There are RPers supporting Bush and we need more of them.
There are CPers supporting Bush and we need more of them.
There are Independents supporting Bush and we need more of them.

It is true that Bush has done things to pi$$ these folks off but, I think that they can achieve more by negotiating with the Republicans than can be achieved by siphoning of votes with a no-win candidate.

The Republicans need to address as many of these concerns as they can and the small parties need to withdraw their candidates and endorse Bush.

I don’t think some comments by folks who claim to support Bush helps to realize that goal.

LOL! Naw...what's hard to believe is that his hard core (that's the 12 people left who still haven't realized he's a pathetic joke), are still pouting over his loss and still posting his anti-Bush BS.

Putting in long hours at the propaganda machine I see.

You've been pumping this stuff out every minute or two since midnight. How do you do that without taking a break to go to the pottie?

LOL! Of course now it's easier to understand your continuing dedication to buchanan...it's your totally warped sence of perspective. Those were my ONLY TWO posts in a couple of months. I'm too involved in a local election...you know, real stuff.

As for taking a pottie break, I still find time to drop a buchanan whenever it's necessary.

And by blindly voting for Republicans over and over, you're reinforcing the policians' view that you have nowhere else to go, so they can do what they want.

You're also saying that their actions to date are just fine, and more of the same would be fine as well.

I'm not willing to support their Big Stupid Government schemes. Simple as that. Mine is a small voice, but it's mine.

I saw that you were shut down for a while.

Your Buchanan paranoia is quite amusing. You offer that as a distraction often.

" Vote for Bush and straight GOP again - but hold their feet to the fire. A few telephone calls and emails can work wonders."

There were a series of minor immigration sweeps in SoCal a while back. Thousands of U.S. citizens sent emails and phoned in supporting the sweeps. Mexico and a Mexican-"American" politician complained and the sweeps were stopped.

Obviously, the phone calls and emails aren't working.

You're either with us or you're with the terrorists!

That's a pretty simple-minded approach. A person can be against a multitude of things.

"to the left to suit me. "

It's either for the children, or all about me. When it's the me part that sticks out, it's by the children.

I am indeed confused as to the motives of someone who pumps out anti-Buchanan propaganda at this point in time. You seem to be stuck in yesterday's political reality.

"Quitters for Conservatism"

Wow, what a brave and principled man you are. Ya know, FDR was a Democrat, would you have also sat at home pouting, refusing to fight in WWII, because you had issues with your leader?

The argument that "the other guy is worse" is invalid. There is now such an indiscernible difference between the Republican and Democrat parties that it would make little difference who won the election.

That is total and utter Bull****, a flat out lie put forth to excuse your quitting. Clear and substantial differences on judicial activism, balance of power, gun rights, taxes, abortion, gay marriage, shifting the tax structure so that a significant majority will not pay taxes and thus the rest will be unable to vote down unending increases, and most importantly, institutionalized corruption.

Saying there is no difference between the 2 parties is like saying there is no difference between night and day since both are somewhat equal phases near the equator.

Now that you've vented, I urge you to take a few days off, relax, and then reconsider your decision based on LOGIC, FACTS, and THE TOTAL PICTURE, not emotion and disappointment with certain pet issues.

Mine is a small voice, but it's mine.

And amen to that. However, your small voice made even smaller voting for ever-shrinking and ever more irrelevant parties and candidates.

There ARE other ways to be heard besides just stepping into the booth every four years. This is how I make my small voice heard, express my (sometimes extreme) dissatisfaction, and let the pols know that, no, my support is NOT necessarily automatic.

LOL! Nope, confusion is just your perpetual state of mind...which would explain your dedication to that wind bag and your persistent attacks on the President, your inability to count posts...basically, you.

Well, your Buchanan obsession and your 10 hour propaganda posting sessions are certainly indicative of your "perpetual state of mind".

NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUSH & KERRY?

Sir, you are absolutely nuts! Let me give you just ONE GOOD REASON. The appointment of up to 4 Supreme Court Judges who will make very important decisions for our country. Judges that will be with us for decades. You know, abortion, gay marriage, affirmative action, religious freedoms and the list goes on.

Please vote. Our way of life may depend on it. As we know, every vote counts.
