Should You Vote?

I believe a good lot of you are making something out of nothing. George W. made a comment that has been utterly misconstrued. He didn't state that the internet was the only cause of the incident - he may have used poor word choices but to slam him and to used your media power to put words in his mouth are unfair.
I am voting for Bush because he is a fair man that realizes our country has been made weak over the last 8 years. Our military (the main purpose for the federal government by the way) is in a weakened state. Bush has a solid plan and vision for his term in office . Gore's plan changes with the audience he is speaking to.
Bush by far would be the better choice for the techie, he is for smaller government. Less government intrusion !!!!
In all I would say cut George W some slack for the slip - He's not going to ban the internet and have a witch hunt. We seem to forgive Al G. for "inventing the internet" and other exagerations like his "dog's medicine"
George W. , in my opinion remembers what the US is all about (see quote below)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do. We are trying to do a futile thing if we do not know where we came from or what we have been about." Woodrow Wilson
It is intersting that so many people believe we live in a democracy - We live in a REPUBLIC.
In a true democracy the majority could get together and vote the minority into slavery or worse.
I really some of you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Bush made and indirect comment, not even realizing he would hurt feelings. He obviously doesn't believe the internet is "EVIL". His comment, though not well phrased, was pointed to violence and not that the internet was responsible for the death and violence at Columbine. Bush by far has the techie's interest at heart with LESS GOVERNMENT interference and controls.
