Justify? Easy. If one sucks but the other sucks worse, I'll vote for the one who sucks least. At least until there is a viable 3rd party candidate, or until there is a bit more spread in the polls. Unfortunately, that leaves GW.

Do you think Kerry will do a worse job than Bush will in the coming years? Keep in mind that, with the republicans contolling the legislative and executive branches of government, we now have the rave act, the DMCR, PATRIOT, the recent Medicare bill...
Let's face it, the republicans are no more libertarian than the democrats. They just support different forms of regulation.

In general... yes.
In specific.... who the fuck knows as Kerry's positions depend not only on the phase of the moon and where he is, but who he's talking to and whether he got laid recently.

He's a democrat. As a Democrat, he'll oppose generally republican positions (like PATRIOT), while Democratic laws will fail at the legislative level.

As a Democrat, he'll support legislation written by Democrats that does essentially the same things - just worded differently to make them seem softer and more lovable. I think it's foolish to think that Kerry will take positions 180 degrees different than Bush's, they'll be more like 361 degrees different.
-------------------- To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.' Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence. Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains. Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

Ironically, the patriot act is not even true to the Republican strict constructionist ideal.

The vote was 96 - 1 in favor with the 1 being a democrat.
That's your idea of a "generally republican position"?

Maybe...
But, with Clinton in office, did we have anything like the war in Iraq? PATRIOT? DMCA? Rave act? Bush/Cheney energy bill? (it failed, fortunately)
Seriously, looking at the record of laws passed with a republican legislature and president, how can you vote for Bush?
