I'm not going to vote for either Bush or Gore. BUT if I agreed with
Tony's proposition here, I would vote -- for Bush. Gore will be *more*
aggressive in foreign affairs (as Democrats have always been for 90 years),
he will be worse than or no different from Bush on race matters,
nothing in Washington for the next four years will make a difference
for labor; and on social welfare issues and social security the vicious
tendencies of a republican will be more vigorously resisted than will
the equally vicious tendencies of a democrat. As to the Supreme
Court -- who appointed White? Who appointed Brennan? Supreme
Court appointments are a lottery regardless of who is in the White
House.
This fatuous support for democrats, any democrat, no matter how
vicious (can anything be more vicious that (a) the welfare bill and
(b) the continuing attack on Iraq?) is really very apt to lead to a
situation where we will be voting for the equivalent of a Hitler as
the lesser evil to a Himmler. When will progrerssives (or pwogs?)
draw a line somewhere?
