# Bob Barr at Creative Loafing Atlanta - An agonizing choice: Conservatives have plenty of cause to abandon Bush - three good reasons not to support Bushnev in November. Vote Badnarik. [kaba]
Now we have the election of 2004. For the first time in my voting life, the choice in the race for president isn't so clear And, among true conservatives, I'm not alone.
What's making the contest so difficult? It's certainly not that both candidates are so conservative that we have a choice of riches. It's not even that John Kerry is sort of right wing compared to George W. Bush. The incumbent clearly is the more "conservative" of the two.
But the concerns for many conservative voters -- concerns that may cause them not to vote for Mr. Bush on Nov. 2 -- fall generally into three categories: fiscal, physical (as in the physical security of our nation) and freedom (as in protecting our civil liberties).
...
Hmmm. Who's the Libertarian candidate again?

# William Rivers Pitt at Truth Out - The Scary Little Man - I couldn't watch the last Kush/Berry "debate". It seemed like two teenage kids yelling insults at each other on the playground. Mr. Pitt was horrified. [whatreallyhappened]
George W. Bush, still smarting from his embarrassing performance in the Florida debate, decided on Friday night in St. Louis that volume was a good substitute for strength, that yelling would be mistaken for gravitas. The result was an ugly, disturbing, genuinely frightening show.
# What Really Happened - The 9/11 Reichstag Fire - text with lots of links to evidence supporting the theory that 9/11 was an American Reichstag fire, planned and executed by the Bush cabal. See especially The 9/11 WTC Fires: Where's the Inferno?. [whatreallyhappened]
