Indulge me.

For those of you who are planning to vote for Bush in November, would you please tell me why? Preferably a reason a little more nuanced than "Kerry's an asshole"?

Note: You're not going to change my mind on this. If the past four years haven't changed my mind, a fifty-word comment sure as hell isn't going to do it.

I'm just trying to understand. Right now nothing scares me more than the thought of four more years of Bush, but I know there are people I like and respect who disagree for whatever reason, and I want to know why, so I can at least try to understand.

No flaming. If I'm too slammed to post my DragonCon pictures (coming soon!), I'm sure as hell too busy to play referee. Play nice, folks.

A lot of people think that we shouldn't "change horses mid-stream" in the middle of the War on Terror. Now, even if we hypothetically grant that that's a good reason, then what the hell are we supposed to do if the "War" is continuous for decades? Change the Constitution so we can keep Bush around? Just keep voting Republican over and over again until we defeat terrorism throughout the world?

I co-host a not very good Internet radio show, called Aggressively Adequate Radio (7:00 to 9:00 cst (gmt-6), Tuesdays on RedhawkRadio.net). We have fake ads since we have no sponsors. We did one for Bush 04 that made fun of the "change horses mid-stream" philosophy. We called it "Don't change horsemen mid-apocalypse".
P.S.
If you do choose to listen to the show. . . Don't judge me by it.
P.P.S. Actually, just don't listen, it's for your own good.

Heh. I made a t-shirt with a little horned Bush stencil that read Bush 2004: Why Change Horsemen Mid-Apocalypse?

Exactly! Did you just make this? I wondered if my co-host, writer of the ad, had seen that slogan somewhere before.

No, I made it back in February. The idea wasn't original to me, though; I got it from atrios.

I find it funny in a scary sort of way that this was actually the theme of the RNC.
