Up until 2000 I voted party line democrat since forever..

In 2000 Gore seemed the usual promise breaking, finger waging liberal many were tired of. Bush was a chance for a change..

In 2004 the Kerry/Edwards tag team comedy act showed little promise of anything positive, plus during times of war I personnaly think that changing presiedents is not the best move... Bush was a better choice..

What you youngun librules fail to realize is that its not always about just you!

I remember the 04 election campaign.  Kerry was caught in so many damn lies that I would never have voted for him.  He was playing the politition telling people what they wanted to know, but he forgot and contradicted himself.

I remember the guys in my squad discussing it and I piped up, I would vote for Bush, the other guy is a tard.

So, Nash, I would have voted for Bush because he is the lesser of two evils, stick with the animal you know.  

In the next election if if's between Hilary and 'W'.  Let me save you the post now and say I voted for 'W' once again because Hillary is a kunt.  If she was a strong leader she would have 'Bobited' he cheating husband and left his bellybutton long ago.

BTW, did you vote for Cretien back in the day?  IF so, you can stop posting now, you helped ruin Canada by doing so.:D

2000 - Every other candiddate was Green Party.   Got to Pres, I chose Bush because Michigan is a Dem. state and chose to defend myself owning a handgun.   Once he got in, handgun laws were eased in Michigan.

2004 - Kerry?   ROTLMMFAO!!!!  

2008 - No Reps or Dems (except McCain).   92 and 96 were Perot.

I vote for purpose, NOT the Lesser of two evils.   If you reply to this, sorry, 1.) I don't care what you have to say. 2.) if you CANNOT vote in the US, see 1.

I voted Bush In 2000 and In 2004 simply because in my opinion it was the lesser of the evils I had to choose from.

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.

I know you are confused, about a lot of things, that has long been apparent.

Everyone who voted for Bush could see plainly he was the "lesser of the two evils"

If the Democrats ever put up a decent candidate, they might have a chance.

With only Gore and Kerry as the choices, of course Bush was going to win.

Funny how this still gnaws at you Nash, I remember the spectacle you  made of yourself during the last election, and you still are fixated and obsessed.

Seek help.

Isn't it obvious Nash? Many of us here are just too stupid to know any better. Like you pointed out not long ago.

Bush in 2000
Bush in 2004
Any Republican over a Dem in 2008

I agree with everything Hilts did, he hit it right on the nose but I can add a few thoughts.

1.  Bush understands the nature of the threat we're facing.  Democrats and other liberals either do not or are not willing to admit it because to do so would weaken their chances or regaining political power.

2.  Bush understands you can't build an "Atlantic Wall" around the US to keep terrorists out, nor can you just turn this back over to the local constable and ask him to just arrest the enemy.

3.  I think it's hilarious that so many liberals can't decide of Bush is an idiot or an evil genius.  He doesn't have Tony Blair's gift for public speaking so Dems claim he's an idiot; however, amongst smaller, less formal groups he is exceptionally engaging.  When the Dems are trying to scare everyone they come up with this stuff about him having plotted to overthrow Saddam back in Texas before he was even elected or that he has plans for a "1000 year Reich" making him an "evil genius".  Dems are flat out pathetic.

4.  I think the "I voted for him because he's the lesser of two evils" really understates the issue.  In my mind, he wasn't the less evil choice, he was the only choice.  As others have pointed out, look at the competition.  The very idea Dems thought these guys were viable candidates points to the real problem, the Democrate party is institutionally insane.  The conservative side of the country has it's own nut jobs, there's no doubt about that, but the Republican Party isn't defined and run by them.  Not so the Dems where the liberal nut jobs are the Dem Party.  Look at the way the Dem Party embraces nutjobs and failures like Howard Dean, Jimmy Carter, Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore, Noam Chomsky, Cynthia McKinny, etc., etc.  Look at the conspiracy theories they subscribe to: Bush "knew", Bush blew up the towers, Bush blew up the Levees, Bush planned the Iraq war before he was even elected, Bush is listening to all your phone calls.  And this is just a tiny list of the Dems problems.  The people who run the Dem party need to take their medications and get a grip on reality.  The US is far weaker with an insane Democrat Party than it would be with a strong party that could really challenge Republicans on issues instead of spewing a constant stream of wackjob rhetoric.
