Over at The Liberty Papers, Brad Warbiany explains why he’s had it with George W. Bush.
Like Brad, I voted for Bush in 2004; largely because the alternative was simply unacceptable, and it seems Brad’s thinking was similar to mine.
Bush could have been defeated in 2004. In many ways, I wish he would have. Not by Kerry, of course. I don?t see how the Democrats could have their fingers so far from the pulse that they nominated so uncharismatic and vacillating that he couldn?t beat a weak Bush. If the Democrats had nominated someone who had come out with an understanding of at least finishing the job in Iraq, I would have voted for him.
Exactly. Sitting here 18 months later, I can honestly say that I wish I’d just not voted for President at all.

That was the reason I wrote Lieberman in for 2004. Bush diappointed me by caving on too many things he said he’d do in 2000, and Kerry was not an alternative I was willing to lend my name to.

Perhaps they had “their fingers so far from the pulse” because, as usual, they had their thumbs thoroughly planted in an unsanitary bodily orifice.
