Just because I do not support Bush does not mean I do not support other groups such as the military. I support the troops a 100%, that doesn't mean I support Bush or his reasons for sending them over there. My brother in law is getting shipped to Iraq in January. I am supporting him all the way. Not supporting Bush doesn't put him in danger.
If the country goes down the crapper in the next 4 years, I don't know if I will say any I told you so's. I will know it will cause a backlash no Republican could get elected president except maybe McCain, but I wouldn't mind him at all. I might even vote for him. If the economy gets better, jobs are abundant, and soldiers quit getting killed for people that don't want them there under Bush, that would be great and I certainly wouldn't complain as much about him then. I just do see all or any of those things happening. All we can do is see what happens in the next 4 years.

If you're so behind your brother-in-law that has volunteered to serve in Iraq, why didn't you back the candidate that voted to equip the military with the protection they needed and not the guy that voted against increased military spending?
"I support the troops, but i don't support the candidate that supports them" Sounds like quality logical reasoning to me.
Granted i'm not 100% behind our prescence in Iraq, noone over there would be over there had they not volunteered for military service. There is no draft and despite what Kerry and his cronies tried to scare the American youth with, there is no need or plan for one.
That being said, i trust the C-in-C to have more access to sensitive intelligence documents and interpretation of said documents than me, so i'm willing to trust him.
