Thanks PB. I was raised as a Democrat and voted that way until recently. I
actually don't like highly partisan politics, but to make a difference, one
has to choose a side...and to make a real difference you must vote Demo or
Republican. Just ask any Libertarian or Greenie (greener, greenite?) how much
they
have affected US politics.
My problem with presidential elections was I felt I was always voting for the
lesser of two evils. I voted for Clinton the second time because I thought
Dole was a terribly weak candidate. I voted for Bush because I felt like
Clinton betrayed all of our trust. I can't help but think that Kerry would be
just
as bad.
If the Democrats would move a little more towards center, whine a little
less, and find a candidate worth supporting, I'd vote that way in a heartbeat.
It
shows just how slim the pickings are for candidates in the Democratic party
when Kerri's first choice for running mate is a Republican.
Hey...this is fun!

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded
state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war
is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight,
nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable
creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the
exertions
of better men than himself.John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)
