TRUE!!! For the first time in my life I voted a straight Rep ticket --- take that Rather
In the year 2000, I voted for a presidential candidate other than Bush. This was my first vote for someone other than a Republican. It was my assessment that while Bush would be better than Gore, he lacked a number of values that I required. Not the least of those values, was the ability to conduct sound enough policy to gain re-election.
I don't say this out of spite or with any malice at all, but if 09/11 hadn't happened, Bush would not have won this election. We would have had John Kerry for President, and he would have taken this nation as far down the road toward world government as he possibly could in four years.
We dodged the bullet, but we will not be so lucky in 2008, if we do not get back to the basics now.
