Like I've said before, the Bush Administration displays the worst characteristics of both parties: it spends money and enlarges government like the Democrats, yet is socially controlled by Christian evangelists from the far right.
I think even the most staunch Bush supporters on this board would prefer the opposite. Of course, while I'm voting for him, I'm not sure Kerry will give us that.
Assuming Kerry spends like a motherfucker, that's a wash. This will happen no matter who is president. However, Kerry won't try to implement the Christian fundamentalist bigoted social agenda, which gives us this:
Bush: -1, -1
Kerry: -1, 1
Kerry gives us an expected outcome of 0 over Bush's -2. Zero is what I expect out of our checked and balanced government.

Because the Democrat's social policies are a "1"? Dude, look around you. Your city is dying because of Democratic social policies. Even as the working class returns to downtown, the businesses are leaving. The absolute fundamental flaw of the Democrats social policy is that you cannot give something to someone for nothing. In Chicago, you have Daley giving money to his friends, his families and selected constituents as "social policy". The city is rapidly running out of taxpayers which is why its continually raising taxes and fees etc. on those who remain The fact is, if people have alternatives to paying for a Democrat's social policies, they will take them, even if means moving far away.
At best, Kerry's social policies would just be a different form of tyranny. Except its not selected illegal immigrants who would be the tyrannized.
