To starkiller, and somewhat to Kingsama: those are really excellent points you bring up. To be honest with you guys, while I watching the Republican Convention I found myself really supporting many of Bush's economic plans/ideaologies. I guess I try to play the Devil's advocate with those issues because I just dont trust that things play out like politicians say they will (pretty simple truth). I still think that Bush leaves too much opportunity for large-scale business to go UN-taxed, and leaves many loopholes which work in opposition to American domestic employment, etc. Im by no means saying that Kerry is the model we ought to run by. I think the record of Heinz is horrible, ive seen the facts.
I guess I have to say, economically im more in favor of Bush. But everything else I side decidedly against him on. So I try to question that economic stuff more. I feel like the only way you can be sure of your stance is if you have to defend it.

The majority of my dissent with Bush comes from outside his economic policy.
