Well that was a little extreme. I know most Republicans mean well and
just can't stomach some part of the opposing platform. There are a few
however that are consistently repugnant enough... (When I care to pay
attention that is.)

Actually I thought he was doing pretty well until the last week or so.
In my shallow watch, it almost appears that the good reviews of the
first 100 days allowed some rougher stances to come out.

Less freedom? Doubtfull. More socialism? Maybe, it's hard to draw the
line unless you are purist Objectivist. Dishonest? I can't keep track
of who's more dishonest overall. No points against W. yet. Previous
R's didn't do so well overall.

I'm over it, but remember that he won the popular vote by 500,000+.
Every winner of the popular vote that lost the election won by a
landslide after running for the next term. Maybe it won't happen, but
Bush isn't looking that great at this point in time.

I seriously would have considered voting for McCain. If the Repubs had
nominated him, it would have been an easy contest.

Crypto yes, Marxist, never. I've always been an entrepreneur,
completely identified with Objectivism (although I view it as too
shallow to be totally purist about; it 'informs' well), etc. I don't
believe that Communism, Socialism, Marxism, or even the red tape mire of
India (apparently much improved) can work. On the other hand, I balance
my opinions by realism interpreted by various theories, not the other
way around.
I don't agree with the Democrats all of the time but they piss me off
less than the Republicans and no other party is viable yet.
