As a student of political science and history, and as a generally aware human being, I can vote Democrat or Republican and have a fairly clear idea of what I'm going to get without shedding a tear when Bush hugs a girl who lost her father in front of the camera or when Kerry stands up as the would-be savior of countless lives with his medicine-beefing and war-reducing master plans.
I would rather get 4 more years of Bush than see Kerry take even one term. This is because of what they've both done rather than what either has said. I've thoroughly reviewed the third parties that represent some of my views, and would not hesitate to vote for a Libertarian or Constitution candidate that I felt would most accurately represent my views. As neither ideological extremists do so in the way that the professional centrist Bush does, Bush gets my vote.
This idea of "...the corporations! the corporations!" and the almost teenage need to declare rebellion with a third party vote is ridiculous. If you are fortunate enough to fall within the tight ideological constraints of the relatively major American third parties, then you have your decision cut out for you. The rest of us need to do our best to pick one of the two moderates that best reflect our views.
