I'm sort of new here so I have a question to all of you who are railing against the President and wish to vote Libertarian or even Constitution Party next year.

What is Politics about to you? Is it a game? I ask this because to me it isn't a game. I support the President. I don't support everything that the President does but Politics isn't about having a guy in office who agrees with everything that you agree with. Politics is about small victories, not about voting your principles.

The most important thing to me was what was Bush going to do with the milatary when he got into office. Even before 9/11, he was planning to build it back up to it's previous glory. He is still in the process of doing this. Case closed for me, he's a conservative.

Even had he raised taxes instead of lowering them and tried to enact new gun control laws instead of directing his justice department to reaffirm the idea of "right to bear arms" as an individual right, he would have been a success in my eyes.

So really, my friends, who cares about CFR, the out of control Farm and Education Bills and the Steel Tariffs.

George W. Bush is a success (and a conservative) in my eyes. He is spending his time taking care of the one thing that government should be taking care of and he's doing a great job in the process. Do you really think Bill Clinton could give a flying *h*t about the military? Clinton more conservative than Bush? Maybe on crap that doesn't matter but not on the stuff that does.

Re-Elect Bush!

Everyone who feels that he "isn't conservative enough" and than votes for one of idiotic third parties who have no chance at winning should be seen as either throwing their vote away or worse, voting for the guy who is guaranteed to not be as conservative as Bush... the Democrat. Have fun with your principles!

Nice post and you are correct. President Bush is conservative when it comes to the one item that the Federal Government is charged with according to the constitution.

National defense.

If we ALL vote for third, it will win. There are many of us. We don't buy Demo and apparently we can no longer buy Republican either. They have left us, and not we who have left them.
