None of the above. They are both disgusting to me. Gore is more viscerally personally disgusting to me than Bush is, but Bush is out of his league and (it is my sense) is intellectually and imaginatively, or something like that, strikingly limited, not to mention associated with individuals whom I consider quite... inauspicious. I would rather have dinner with Bush. Actually, I'd rather have dinner with a day old newspaper than with either of them. I am somewhat convinced by CharleyMane's argument that it will be more like a sitcom with Bush in office, so I might vote for him just for comic relief; and if it looks like there will be a Democratic Congress, I may vote for Bush. I like to stick a spoke in their wheels. Of course, if it looks like there may be a Republican one, I might be forced to vote for Gore. Gore is not sufficiently protective of the Second Amendment in my eyes. It is not simple when one has standards.

At least he will keep his zipper up with the office help. Who, the adviser in question, or the President? I seem to recall a number of bible-thumpin' preachers getting caught with the zippers down...

Speaking of Biblical issues, I noticed a recent poll that said 80% of the American people are in favor of some teaching of creationism in the public schools. Where does GWB stand on this this? I have to tell you that, as distressed as I am over this country's moral decay, I am very leery of mixing religious doctrines into the public school curriculum. In my local public schools, we have goodly numbers of Christians, but also goodly numbers of Hindus, Moslems and Jews. Whose version of creationism would we teach if this were introduced into the public schools? I have to tell you that I have a Hindu friend and they have a radically different view of things than the Judeo-Christian creationist view. Isn't this topic best left for Sunday School and home discussion?
