I'm not happy about President Bush, but unless something changes with the Kerry campaign, I'll be voting for him this Fall. Glenn Reynolds managed to touch some of the reason why. He's the Anti-Bush. But that's not a policy statement. He can't do everything that Bush didn't do, and the policies that I know he wants to undo, I don't want undone. (Tax cuts, and "internationalization" of the Iraq effort. The UN is being proven again and again as a corrupt, inept, club for dictators; and the ). Bush AND THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS may be running up a deficit, but the programs Senator Kerry AND THE DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS wants to implement will require abolition of all the Bush tax cuts, and imposition of more taxes besides, to pay for. And while the deficit is large in absolute dollars, as a percentage of GNP, it's pretty small change. Remember, the biggest problem that the Dems had with the prescription drug plan was that it was not extensive (read expensive) enough...

No, I don't like John Ashcroft's pornography and drugs fetish. But, as far as I know, the FBI under Ashcroft hasn't had anything like Ruby Ridge or Waco. People he might unfairly persecute are in jail, not a coffin. The wrongs done to them can be made up to them. And I doubt that a Kerry administration is going to slack off the Drug War. After all, "It's For The Children!"

Anyway, I haven't seen ANY reason to vote FOR Sen. Kerry. I've got plenty of reasons to vote AGAINST Pres. Bush. But none to vote for Sen. Kerry. And I do have a couple of positive reasons to vote for Pres. Bush. So until and unless that changes, you know what my vote will be.
