The devil you know... Consider the "big picture". Vote Republican Tuesday.
Other than the NH Governor's Executive Council race, I will be voting for Republicans across the board. Is it because they’ve done great things lately? Of course not, because they haven’t. At the state level, while the majority Republicans once again dithered away the chance to enact a constitutional amendment to keep the courts out of the school taxation issue, what is the alternative? While the NH Democrats lick their chops in anticipation of broad-based taxation, the odds are that at least some Republicans will put up a fight.
.
The same goes for our national representatives. In my opinion, there is no issue out there that trumps the new world war we are fighting. Is what we are doing perfect? Of course not. But at least President Bush, supported by razor- thin majorities in both houses, is trying. To turn control of one or two branches of the government to people that routinely all but propose surrender, given the vow of our enemy to achieve nothing less than our society’s complete destruction, is a risk none of us ought to even consider.

Can you imagine the turmoil that will ensue with moonbats like Nancy Pelosi and Charles Rangel, both ultra-liberal US House representatives with seniority, in charge of key positions in government? Because of that prospect alone, I will be voting Republican in the national contest. The good news right here in our congressional district is that I don’t even have to hold my nose and vote, as Jeb Bradley has done a good job in Washington, DC. After the election, I’ll just have to keep asking him to reconsider his oil exploration votes…

Doug: I presume since we are engaged in a world war with nothing less at stake than the national existence of the United States and the future of western civilization, would you agree that the United States should 1) restore the draft 2) increase deployments to the Middle East 3) increase taxes to pay for the expanded war effort 4) require some sacrifices of the American citizenry. If you do not support some or all of these measures, then the stakes cannot be all that high, can they?

Yes to all questions- when necessary.
