FInt..That is an interesting (but one sided) observation. Let's turn the tables on you...What has been said that would turn away "fence sitters"?

And kindly elaborate on why one should choose GWB for another four years? Is the current administration the best we can do? Are they the best and the brightest of the current crop of leaders? If so, why? What has the current administration accomplished that would not have been accomplished by some other administration, given the same set of circumstances? How would Reagan handled things? Johnson? Kennedy? Nixon? Interesting idea, wot?

Please...no jingoism..Stick to the facts. And, yes, I am actually interested, and one of those "fence sitters", although leaning in a direction I am sure you would not endorse.

The more I hear of innuendoes about the Dems and their "liberal" shortcomings, the more I think the other side has nothing to stand on. What makes the word "liberal" bad and "conservative" good? Was Lincoln a liberal or a conservative? How about Hoover? Was he a liberal or conservative? and the gentleman who followed him and had to work the country out of a depression? Liberal or Conservative?

Issues, Gentlemen...Issues....Let's talk deficit; let's talk cost of medication, let's talk loss of jobs without reducing the discussion to anecdotes and opines from FOX or CNN or CNBC......

To pharaphrase Ronnie Regan, I do not know many people who are better off today than they were four years ago. Do you? I'm not in that stratospheric income bracket that benefitted the most. I would not give a rat's patottie which party was in the White House. When I see things where "wrong is right" (as in the movie), I will vote for the individual I feel can get us back on track, whether that be Reagan, (second term), or Clinton (second term).

I am a registered independent, and I adhere to no party line. I may have some conservative leanings, and some liberal ideas as well, but I am not a brain dead slave to any single ideology. I like leaders who can admit to being human, 'fess up to their failings and move on. I find little difference in Clinton's inability to admit guilt and GWB's refusal to say he made a mistake in judgement. Both exhibit character flaws in that respect.

Granted, the group represented in this OT BB are skewed toward the upper income brackets, and therefore I would expect some bias to the right.

So, let's all jump on the bandwagon. Factually, who should vote for whom and why?
