Good post, Lock, but your last sentence says it all and pretty much negates the whole point, at least regarding *this* election. And your other post with your list is kind of puzzling as well, given Ashcroft and all.
Thanks Kosar! Actually, one party talks about minimum wage increases (95% of economists believe this is negative, foremost for the people that it intends to help...), one party talks about tax increases (an economic strain). You have clearly swallowed, hook and line, and democratic philosophy that tax cuts are "spending"...lol. Yeah, failing to TAKE my money is somehow government "SPENDING"....what a joke, and this is repeated day in day out.
So no, on balance...Bush and the Republicans are clearly the better choice based on mathematical law in economic principles.
As far as the meddling with control over my personal life, and your reminder of Ashcroft and the Patriot act, I agree that this is really the only area that Bush is vulnerable in this election, simply because this enrages republicans more than it does democrats.
But here is the difference in my eyes, I sincerely believe that these infringements have been imposed as the result of terrosist threat, while the intentions of the democrat's infringements are simplly the result of their willingness to impose their vision of the how people should live and think on my life.
This to me is quite simple.
Later.
