I would vote for Bush, here is why:

A) I have yet to see a single candidate which I would trust not to spiral the United States into socialism.

B) Our economy is not Bush's fault, take a fucking economics course. The long-term effects of administrative change to government agencies, relief programs and taxation generally take 5-8 years to be fully realized. That means that the shit we are seeing right now is largely due to the Clinton administration. Furthermore, this has been a constant problem since long before I was born. Democrats always want immediate relief for only the poor and implement such policies with reckless abandon and no thought for the future. They tend to gallop toward implementing socialist ideals. Then, after eight years when a Republican finally gets back in office, the downward spiral of the economy is just starting to really show in the stock market and the strength of the dollar. And please don't be ignorant, the economy was falling during Clinton's final year. Economic sabotage. And yes politicians ARE that insane. And also don't forget that George Bush is trying to repair the economy after a disaster of such scale that nothing similar has happened since Pearl Harbor. And that time they had a real war raging to repair the economy. So please, Bush has done a lot of fucking stupid things, but wrecking the economy was not one of them.

C) While the man can be a buffoon, he has one of the best staffs I've seen in a long time. Powell and Rice are amazing, and while Rumsfield is admittedly not the greatest with PR, even he does his job extraordinarily well.

D) A strong Republican 2004-2008 term is the only way we're going to keep Hillary Clinton out of office. And I don't know about the rest of you jackasses, but if Hillary Clinton becomes President, peace the fuck out. I'm moving to Fiji. This is a whole different argument, but just to keep the flames down I'll briefly explain. The majority of leaders in the Middle East refuse to enter any negotiations with a woman. Think this doesn't matter? Generally, when negotiating things such as war or disarmament, these countries will not recognize the agreement until they finalize it with someone they consider of equal stature. Which could only be the President. Whom they won't even meet with if it were a woman. Instability much? Yeah.

So, more or less, my decision to vote for Bush is a decision to choose the lesser of several evils. He is by no means perfect, and he's made several mistakes, but in the end - who else could you choose?
