I am a social moderate and feel Bush was very strong immediately after 9-11. Heaven help us if Gore would have been in office, but I am not sure I will vote for him in 2004. It depends on who the Dem. nominee is.

Yeah...sounds good...better yet...don't vote and go to the strip club.

Considered voting for him in 2000- decided against it by a hair line decision. I hadn't truely decided untill I was at the voting place. I'm glad that I did not- the issues that I had slight misgivings about have become the things that have defined his tenure in office.
I don't know if I will vote for him in 2004- I want to see who he's running against and on what platforms before I decide. I probably won't vote Bush... but it depends on who's the best of 2 or 3 evils
Independant to the death!

As far as support- he's the head of the american government whether I like him or not. I support the american way of life- our voting system (even if it does seem like it's on crack sometimes)- and stand by the decisions that are made in our governmment- including the choice of president.
I support and affirm his status as leader- but I reserve the right to question the things that he does in my name as the leader of the americans. And I reserve the right to attempt to vote him out of office if he does things I object to!

I support him only because he's our President, not because I agree with him. I did not support his decision to go to war with Iraq, still don't think we should be there. But since we are, I support our servicemen and women who are there.
I doubt if I will vote for him in 2004 but I haven't decided if any of the Democratic hopefuls are worth a vote, either. There's still time to decide.

I like Bush, and basically...ever since I discovered why it just plain feels better to be a Conservative....I vote Republican. There is even a Democratic Senator that has found that feeling (the name escapes at the moment)...who has admitted that he will vote for Bush in 2004. What a slap in the face to the Democratic Party!

Thank you ...I forgot to throw that one in. Not only a Christain...but a true Christain, not like that fake we had in office in the 90's who would show up at every photo op he could find dancing, singing, and shaking his Bible with all his good black freinds.

speaking of the Dem speaking out against the Dems..I remembered his name. It's Zell Miller, Ga.
Check this out:
Zell book zings Dems
The best line of the week goes to Democrat US Senator Zell Miller of Georgia, who said of fellow Democrat Howard Dean, a candidate for President, "Howard Dean knows as much about the South as a hog knows about Sunday. He doesn't understand the South."
Miller was responding to a Dean statement about Southern voters: The former Vermont governor said in an interview published in the Des Moines Register, "I still want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks. We can't beat George Bush unless we appeal to a broad cross-section of Democrats." Apparently Dean believes a lot of Southern Democrats ride around in pickup trucks with confederate flags.
That is the kind of stuff that has driven Miller to write a book about just how out of touch Democrats have become. It's designed to be a self-help book for ignorant Democrats.
Miller says Dean's remark reminded him of a 1988 Michael Dukakis event in Georgia where the Massachusetts Democrat's presidential campaign hauled in bales of hay, turning the stage into a set from the TV show "Hee Haw."
Dean told NBC's Tim Russert, "This is not the South that Howard Dean thinks it is.Sure, we drive pickups, but on the back of those pickups you see a lot of American flags. It's the most patriotic region in the country. And you see hardworking individuals [who] want to instill values in their children, and you see a very, very strong work ethic in the South. He doesn't understand the South."
Miller also educated Russert with the fact that 5,500 office holders in the South are black. He could have added that blacks are migrating to the South faster than any other region of the country. Twice as many blacks are moving to the South than those who are leaving. Those moving here tend to be older and better educated. Those who are leaving are mostly younger and uneducated. Guess which ones are more likely to vote.
Miller's new book "A National Party No More: The Conscience of a Conservative Democrat," outlines what he calls the "self-destructive path" of his party. In his book, Mr. Miller describes Mr. Dean as "clever and glib, but deep this Vermont pond is not" and says Dean belongs to "the whining wing of the Democratic Party."
The problem with the Democratic Party, Mr. Miller says, is it has been taken hostage by "special interests with their own narrow agenda so far to the left that they're completely out of the mainstream.These so-called national leaders, none of them can come south and try to help a fellow Democrat. Because they're considered too liberal." Miller said people like Terry McAuliffe, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi and Tom Daschle would "do more harm than good."
That was not always the case. As Miller points out in his book, voters in Georgia gave JFK a wider victory than voters in Kennedy's home state of Massachusetts. And, he says, "Georgians were not disappointed in Kennedy's performance as president. He stared down the Russians over Cuba and cut taxes in a significant way that stimulated the economy. Had he not been assassinated, he could have carried Georgia a second time."
Democrats would be wise to consider the counsel of the retiring Senator from Georgia, but fortunately for Republicans, they won't.
