Democrats for Bush?

Even if you rarely venture into the world of American blogs the debate over the issue of pro-war Democrats for Bush might be worth dipping your toe into:

The ball got rolling with Roger L Simon’s post:

Let me begin by saying that there is not a great deal of domestic policy about which I agree with George Bush. I think taxes should not be reduced for the upper classes. I would like to see a lot more done for the environment, including the automobile companies being forced to build truly fuel-efficient cars as quickly as possible. I favor a woman’s right to choose and gay marriage. I’d like to see salaries raised for teachers. I could go on, but I think you get the picture—in many ways I’m a liberal.

Still, if the election were held today, like Georgia Democratic Senator Zell Miller, I would vote for George W. Bush without a second’s hesitation. That’s how bad I think the Democrats are on foreign policy, by far the most important issue of our day.

Needless to say that prompted quite a response and Winds of Change has links to the best of them.
