The Communists formerly known as Democrats, OTOH, are so enthusiastic, even after cutting each others throats over the nominations, that even their dead guys get up and vote, and some of the live ones vote 2,3,4 even 6 or 8 times!

All your ideas, values, principles, hopes and dreams are WORTHLESS if your guys aren't in office, control the House, the Senate, the White House, the State House, as many as possible.

Exactly.

The whole problem is this:

Democrats back their candidate no matter what. He could get caught murdering Nuns, raping their dead bodies and running a Child Porn ring on the side and Democrats will still vote for him.

And have!

Republicans on the other hand, will throw their candidate under the bus if he muttered "fiddlesticks" under his breath when he stubbed his toe back in 1962. They might even throw him under the bus just for ever stubbing the toe in the first place.

So... We all need to become Low-information Voters?

Do you think for one second that this country will vote for another Bush?! I don't care if he is perfection on every issue. The media has so completely destroyed that name that there is no way he would be elected. It is precisely because of this that I do not want another Bush. We cannot win with him. Is that pragmatic enough for you?

I think you missed the point. I do not believe it was an endorsement of Bush at all. I believe the point was that Democrats unite behind a candidate and VOTE!. Republicans, who do not get everything they want, pout, lose interest, and stay home. That's why we lose. Democrats run some of the worst candidates there possibly can be and still win, because they VOTE and don't stay home. I think his point was Republicans stay home if they can't have the exact person they want, and their reasoning is that the candidate is no better than the Dem running, but it never is true. Then we cry about it when it's too late.
