The conservative case against George Bush
An excellent article about why true conservatives should vote against George Bush.
Along those lines, I believe that the following conflict of interest involving James Baker subverts our attempt at nation-building, and puts our troops at further risk in Iraq. This is on top of the debacle at Al-Qaqaa. Of course there are some odd things about this story, and there are various questions that need to be addressed by the media and those involved. But that doesn't change the fact that the securing of Iraq was badly screwed up.
On Nov 2, about half of the nation will place votes for John Kerry. Many won't like him, they'll just think that Bush is worse. In fact some will absolutely hate Kerry. So even if you dislike or hate Kerry, you'll be in good company if you evaluate our pathetic options carefully and decide to vote against Bush.

However given a close race it isn't necessary to convince most Bush supporters, it is only necessary to convince enough to flip the race. Which is why I find it heartening to see conservatives look at the facts and conclude that they should look beyond Bush's claim to be a conservative and see that he is the wor
Irrelevant (Score:2)
From the few Bush supporters I know, and the ones I've seen or heard on the media, the issues are completely irrelevant. The people who have decided to vote for Bush have not done so based on his foreign policy or domestic policy. The kind of reasons I've heard all run along the lines of:
