The Conservative Case for Voting Democratic
By "conservative", we mean limited government, free markets, and peace.
The main reason, of course, is because Kerry will try his level best to keep US out of wars (instead of using war as a means to solve problems, which is how the neo-conservatives think). But for those of us with a libertarian bent, it is also good to know that there are several sound economic reasons for voting Kerry as well. CATO does a better job than anyone else demonstrating what those reasons are.
Senator Kerry calls this a "tragic milestone," and the most catastrophic of the administration's mistakes made so far. Regardless of his mistakenly voting for the war at the time, he's right. For him to turn against the Iraq war is a flip-flop I would be happy with. Hopefully he has an exit strategy, even though he's not telling us about it at the moment.
This is why Bush must be defeated in November. I realize the economy is an important issue, but compared to 1000++ dead soldiers? Come on. Not to mention 7,000++ wounded, and the 11,000++ estimated by the Iraq Body Count . This is a slam dunk, as George Tenet would say.
Prediction: if Bush is [re]elected, the U.S. will engage in pre-emptive war against Iran and/or North Korea. Is that really what we want?
