Well, crap

I guess I'll have to vote in the next Presidential election.

I voted for Bush in 2004. I'm not pleased about it, either, and I wasn't pleased about it at the time. Look, the Democratic choice was John Kerry -- he's the other Senator from mASSachusetts, for cryin' out loud.

Have you seen that South Park episode about voting for a giant douche or a turd sandwich? Yeah, it was kind of like that.

This time around, I'd rather just get hit in the mouth instead. I already feel that way, and we're barely into 2006.

Considering Bush's track record, I won't miss him. And I'm not talking about stupid poll numbers that keep getting thrown around. Take about ten minutes our of your day, and do a little research on second-term poll numbers, and you'll quickly see what a sorry excuse for excrement-smeared non-news that is. Rather, I just don't think he's done what a conservative Republican is supposed to do, i.e. less-government-all-up-in-your-Kool-Aid.

Kim's perspective on the Bush regime is right on target:

At least the socialists .... er, Democrats have some front-runners (God save us from Hillary). Who the Republicans (or the Stupid Party, to use Kim's phrase) will put in the ring is anyone's guess.

But I'd vote for a turd sandwich before voting for any Democrat.

And I thought I was displeased with my (lack of) choices for President in 2004...

At least I can say some good things about the Bush presidency/Republican Congressional term thus far: the so-called "Assault Weapons" Ban is dead & gone, and the concealed-carry movement has been successful in well over half of the states of America. "Castle Doctrine" laws are gaining momentum. All in all, gun owners have seen worse days.

Of course, Bush said he would have renewed the AWB had it made it to his desk (though we all know he knew he wouldn't have to pay the piper on that one). Just goes to show you he would have sold out pro-gun America in a hearbeat.

That being said, though, I put way more stock in the current Republican administration that I would have put in the Kerry regime -- did any of us really belive those silly pictures of "Kerry the duck hunter"? Geez - I'd take a pheasant hunting trip with Cheney and a case of beer before I'd get within a mile of Kerry and any firearm. No way Kerry knows what he's doing when it comes to guns.

News flash: nobody bought your "I'm-no-threat-to-gun-owners" crap, John. You shoulda' stuck with windsurfing.

I wonder if Bush's "legacy" will end up sucking as badly as Clinton's ...
