…you can be a right or left-leaning Libertarian. On political quizzes, for what they are worth, I am a centrist Libertarian - which when it comes down to it pretty much says I’m a fiscal conservative and a social liberal, and somehow that apparently balances the scales (it also makes me rather unappealing to both major parties, not that I care).

…anyway.

Now I’m not an Amerikan, and if I was I wouldn’t be a Bush supporter. But…

…it seems to me, if you’re a sitting vice president, through 8 years of prosperity, and you can’t win your home state or do any better than 50% of the vote, well, you kind of should eat a little crow.

Just my 2 cents!

Actually, it’s not so much I’m afraid Bush is going to push the Christian Coalition, Rush conservative agenda. I’m more afraid that he’s going to make a HUGE screw up in foreign policy, perhaps piss off the wrong guy. I mean, THIS is who we want to have access to nuclear weapons?!?! Think about that for a minute, if you will.  
And the environment isn’t going to be helped at all.

But, **Guinastasia** , who cares about foreign policy and the environment when we’ll be paying less taxes?

Don’t blame me, I voted for Nader.

…yes, justices who have to be confirmed by a VERY split  
senate. The Shrub’ll have a hard time getting anyone confirmed who is too right-wing.

I think you need a brush-up on topic sentences. 😉
