I think many folks think I hate republicans because I have been so unhappy with Bush. ( I have been very unhappy with his environmental record. Who wouldn't be? )

The fact is, I have supported for a number of republicans including Nixon, the first time GHW Bush and Dave Reichert.

I liked the old time Ronald regan republican values of smaller government, balanced budget and fiscal restraint. But the current Rs seem to have totally abandoned that.

I would vote for McCain if he weren't so damn old. I do admire him, and am torn betweeen Obama's inexperience and McCain's old age.

BTW if you can remember back far enough I often gave Clinton hell in my columns.
