I have been accused of being a Bush supporter. Well I admit it, I am. Being a Bush supporter doesn’t mean I think he is perfect. He is not.
He spends much more than I like. I disagree with the new Medicare drug benefit, his signing of the politician protection act, his signing of the farm bill, and his implementation of steel tariffs. There are probably more items that I would disagree with, but that’s all I can think of for the moment.
What I do agree with him on is his cutting taxes and his war on terror. I think he did the right thing in Afghanistan and the right thing in Iraq. Have we made mistakes? Absolutely. We will continue to make mistakes.
I am concerned that he seems a bit defensive about some things. I’d like to see him be more forthcoming.
One might ask, would I vote for someone else? That answer is yes, but what other choices do I have? First it looked like Dean was a possible other choice, but he seems to be crashing and burning. Now the liberal senator from the People’s Republic of Massachusetts seems to be the one opposing Bush this fall.
When I consider my choice between Kerry and Bush, it’s a no brainer. Kerry would spend even more than Bush and raise taxes to boot. Kerry would not be strong on defense. That is very worrisome. The very first duty of government is to protect is citizens.
Kerry will be a difficult opponent. He has positions on every side of every issue.
I ask myself, which candidate would Saddam have voted for? Which one would UBL vote for?
