  I'm all discombulated about politics this year. I generally agree with the Bush Administration on national security and terrorism, although I'm leery about the idea of preemptive war as a general principle of our foreign policy. I was for the Iraq war, and I'm still not convinced that it was wrong. The lack of WMDs does make me wonder. Also, I think the Administration has been reckless with fiscal policy, and I'm not in favor of tinkering with the Constitution to keep gay men and lesbians from marrying each other.
However, my main beef with the Bushies is their apparent arrogance, their slavish adherence to ideology, and their obsession with secrecy. On the other hand, Kerry's voting record on military and national security issues makes me uncomfortable. And the guy kind of gives me the willies, even though I can't put my finger on why that is. I could be for Edwards, but I don't like his position on trade. Heck, it really doesn't matter in the end what I think. Bush will carry my state unless Kerry wins in a nationwide landslide.
