I sincerely hope that there will come a day when the Republican who is running is not so purely evil or totally incompetant (or both like this year) that I can in good conscious vote FOR the Democrat, rather than AGAINST the Republican, but that opportunity hasn't been there since Eisenhower, and, with the increasing polarization of the active American electorate, the increasingly aggressive cynicism and apathy amongst the inactive electorate, and the pathetic quality of citizenship training in schools, I don't know if that opportunity will present itself in the next 8 to 15 presidential elections I figure I'll be around for. (Of course, if the Bush Bund decides to go for a coup before they're driven from office, all bets may be off.)
