True

.... Your mistake is assuming I support Bush and his
administration.


Not at all. You've stated that you despise him. I believe
you, but I don't agree with you.


.... For the record (for the umpteenth time) I'm no fan of GWB
or his policies. He's rear-ended his constituency, bankrupted the
government, and failed to secure our southern border. And that's the tip of
the iceberg, IMHO.


Sure. He did all this before the 2004 election, and you
vigorously supported him them. So who made the mistake?


... Of course no Democrat will do any better.


So, you're just bitterly anti-Democrat? At least that's a
simple policy, easy to explain.


... To expect any
president to actually make and execute policies which benefit the populace
is naive. The Washington Game is one of money and favors.


In that case, the fools are the people who continue to vote
for it.

I'm supposed to be a soothsayer? Can you predict the future?

I'm not bitterly anything. Frankly I just don't care enough about politics
to get involved beyond a random discussion in this NG. I do believe that
the secular-progressive (cultural) movement is dangerous to the future of
this country, but not all democrats are secular-progressives. In the
upcoming election I plan to vote for at least three democrats on the local
level and one on the state level. All are solid citizens, patriots, and
have performed their jobs with sincerity and diligence. Their GOP
challengers are inexperienced, unknown entities. I prefer public servants
with some worthwhile experience.

Do we have a choice? Both democrats and republicans play the
money-for-favors game. Both care more about preserving their jobs than
about their constituents. So one votes for the people who most closely
mirror his/her beliefs. As I said above, no one is perfect, but some have
fewer warts than others.

I have no doubt that both houses of Congress will change hands this
election. Bush will essentially be rendered impotent with respect to
ramrodding his agenda through to his desk for signing. The net effect is
that nothing substantive will get done over the next two years, which might
be a good thing considering the past three years.
