To answer the op, despite Bush being way to liberal on the border and the budget, no.
Well, don't you think that is kind of huge? I mean, supposedly terraists can come across the unguarded border, plus we're supposed to be fighting them over there so they can't come over here. Is it logical to leave our borders wide open? I mean, we're only spending TRILLIONS of dollars on this war, yet cannot seem to guard our borders. What's up with that?
Where I live, those bumper stickers are generally removed after the election. There is no point in having a "Bush/Cheney" bumper sticker when they already are in office.
I voted for Bush and have no regrets. IMO, the alternatives (Gore and Kerry) would have been worse.

Sometimes I think the dems/libs have such an all-consuming hatred of "W" because he has been SO successful. He has beaten them at every turn. He's gotten most of what he wanted. And he has left an indellible mark on the Supreme Court with his two very fine nominees, which to me is one of his MOST important and successful issues.

The problem is Gore or Kerry wouldn't have closed the border, either.
How do you know Gore or Kerry would not have closed the border? Again, I am not looking for your personal opinion, rather citing something from someone who knows more than both you and I. Thank you.
In case this isn't clear, I want a link from someone who does analysis of this on a regular basis!
Let me qualify, on other forums I have to back EVERYTHING up and usually with mainstream sources. This forum is just like one BIG opinion board. I am trained to do analysis. I want analysis. I want data.

Dude, you're on a message board, what you just described is the very definition of what this place is. Duh! I can not in good conscience ever vote for a liberal democrat which nowadays is redundant. I really wish a real ACP (American Conservative Party) would rise up as a legit 3rd party but until then I'll always vote republican.

Number 1, I am not a dude. Number 2, I have master's degree in business and am bilingual. I expect a certain level of intellectualism, ok?... Dude, all things notwithstanding. I'm all in favor of voting for Ron Paul, but if you have any sense in your head, you will not be voting for a republican (even though he is under that umbrella and I give my blessings to that!).
The only thing I regret is being slow to catch on to the fact that our two-party system is really a one-party track to trans-national government and the erosion of our freedoms. Not too long ago I would've considered myself a Republican but now I realize that our entire political process is fraudulent and doesn't represent the needs of the American people.
So, as much as I'm unhappy with Bush I don't believe that Kerry, Gore, or any other Democrat would have been (or will be) any better.

You know what, OldTex, I am really going to think about your post, and trust me, this will be a first.

Because if Bush wouldn't do it, those two certainly would not.
