Bush in 2000, because Gore was a friend of the family at one time and I knew he was a total idiot.
Bush in 2004 because Kerry was a lying moron I wouldn't trust in an outhouse with a muzzle on him.
Am I completely satisfied and happy with Bush? No, not at all, not even close. Is he light years ahead of Gore, Kerry, or any other left wing fruit cake the Democrats have offered in recent history (since maybe Kennedy)? Yes.
The Democrats, and their rapidly further left leaning policies have NOTHING to offer me, their domestic policies on spending and law/order suck, and their foreign policy is even worse. Further, the Democrats do not offer ANY plan, all they offer is "we're not Bush and we're not Republicans". The REASON they offer that is that no one but the far left likes or wants what they REALLY stand for.
I REALLY wish the Democrats DID have something to offer besides "we're not Bush and we're not Republicans", because if nothing else, it would force the Republicans to perform better and actually do a better job of being true conservatives. But the Democrats don't offer much outside of major suckage, and as dissatisfied as I am with the Republicans, the Democrats are completely unacceptable.
If the Republicans were true conservatives we'd have even less taxes, we'd have more drilling for oil in the ANWAR and in the Gulf of Mexico, and more refineries. We'd have ten times as many nuclear power plants, and we'd be mining more coal and figuring out how to turn it in to gas and diesel. We'd have a more aggessive prosecution of the war on terror (it'd be known as the war on Islamic Fascism) especially in Afghanistan and Iraq, there'd be a lot more pressure on Iran and North Korea. We'd have a lot less money wasted on "social programs" and other B.S. We'd have a lot better policy on illegal aliens.
The fact that the Republicans are at least somewhat conservative is the ONLY thing keeping the Deomocrats from making all of the previous paragraph far worse than it is already. The Democrats energy solution is to tax the Hell out of oil and oil companies. The public will pay for that at the pump, not the oil companies, and it'll KILL the economy. Their budget solution is to immediately raise taxes on EVERYONE who makes more than $20K a year, and raise them exponentially on anyone that makes more than $100K a year. That will only KILL revenue AND the economy, and they'll only want to spend more on "social programs" AKA "money for the poor" which will encourage the poor to be poor. Their foreign policy will be "cut and run". Their foreign policy has blessed us with things like North Korea. They'll want to further restrict my right to own and to carry my firearms. They'll want us to subsidize more abortions and the results of failed gay marraiges (yes, the public subsidizes failed marraiges by paying for the support of children, and we already know once they legalize gay marraiges they'll fully support adoption by gayt couples). No, the Democrats and their far left candidates have NOTHING to offer me.
Is that enough for you Nash? Enjoy it. And writhe in agony at your inability to vote or have any real effect on politics down here.
