Nah! A Rudy and Hillary makes more sense.


Do you think that the conservative Republicans will vote for him in
the primaries.


I suspect that they'll do whatever God and their President tell them
to do.



In your present condescention mode, you *would* suspect that. Here's
what you *should* be considering, IMHO: The Dems offered no viable
alternative to Bush (which was all this election was about). By all
rights, someone with some uniting capabilities or a little charisma
should have been able to defeat Bush, and clearly would have done so.
Kerry offered neither quality. Ballots could have had two boxes in this
election, FOR BUSH and AGAINST BUSH, because Kerry brought nothing to
the table to vote FOR.

One this is correct....Kerry was a ****-poor offering for the Democrats
to vote on. And I just saw where JK called the Prez to concede. I didn't
like either choice the parties offered. While Kerry was an out-of-touch
Easterner, I couldn't make myself vote for someone who says "Nukular". I
heard the election was between the Incompetent and the Incoherent. That
fits my take exactly. I see where the Bible Belt voted their religion
and not common sense. Most of the rural Republicans let their leaders in
Washington lead them around by the nose. Not a thinking man's party by
any stretch of the imagination. Lemmings all. But then you have the Dems
who want the government to pay for every damn thing. So..... this time I
voted my pocket book. It didn't matter which way I voted because Idaho
is one of if not THE most republican state - anything but a far-right
vote is discounted. I voted to go against the discontinuance of overtime
at work, against the deficit growing so damn big - pork included - and
the fact that my wife takes 15 necessary meds - costing us in excess of
300.00 w/ copay. I feel the republicans are in bed with the
pharmaceuticals (and other BIG businesses) and not watching out for the
middle class at all. I am a hunter and avid fly fisherman. I want the
government out of my life. And lower taxes - all right wing agendas, but
at the same time, I expect near pristine forests, fishing waters and air
- left wing agendas.

So now we have four more years of a little self-centered squat bodied
dipstick in the White House. So be it - at least time King George was
elected and not anointed. I don't think America will go to hell in a
hand basket but we sure are going to lose a lot more men and women in
the Middle East before it is all over.

Just My .02 cents worth.
