this is one reason I did not vote last time there was a predidential election. I already knew I didn’t like Bush, however, I didn’t know any of the other guy’s policies. I’m not going to vote for the “lesser evil” when I don’t really know how evil the other guy actually is.
One thing for sure though…had a democrat been put in the office there would be no pussyfooting on the US’s part in the middle east. they would have either been yanked and call it a day, or yanked so they can glass the place over. there’s no middle of the spectrum on their intents. (however, implementation might be half-assed, a la Bill Clinton with Operation Desert Fox)
I didn’t want a job to be half-done. So while I don’t like Bush, I’m not totally disappointed he got voted in.
