Well, if you're talking about entertainment value, you certainly picked the perfect candidate. Watching GWB go after OBL was like watching Wile E. Coyote go after the Roadrunner. A very black comedy of errors.

BTW, your statement implies that you voted for him twice after you observed him discharging his office. A more correct phrasing is 'vote for him again' or 'vote for him a second time'.

One point you'd best not dodge, Rich, is that there is absolutely no reason to believe ANY Democratic candidate for the office would have done better, and ample reason to suppose ANY Democratic President in the period 2001-2008 would have done much worse, for the Democratic Party leadership has never understood the United States is in a war. Their ostrich attitude tells me the whole crew is both untrustworthy and pro-fascist, which gives the lie to their party's very name. Not being able to figure out the country's in a war is a clue the Democratic Party is the abode of morons.

So, they don't merit either votes or contributions.

Fair enough, though peripheral. I voted for Bush twice, the first time after observing Clinton/Gore and how they simply never offered anything I wanted to buy or sign off on, and the second time after observing Bush -- and observing his Democratic opposition: completely vitiated, largely irrelevant to my interests, unable to prosecute the war, enthralled by socialism, hardly an ounce of wisdom in the whole bunch. The one worthwhile Democrat on Capitol Hill was Joe Lieberman. A hundred more Liebermans on the Hill would make my choices more difficult, to be sure. As it is, no Democratic candidate for any office has received my vote since... hmm. Nineteen eighty-something. Since then, they haven't offered anything I'd want. Anywhere. That's a looooong time for any party to be so completely on the outs in a representative democracy.
