Bootz, there isn't a plan. There should be.

You're right that the Republicans have completely abandoned any pretence of fiscal responsibility. If it weren't for 9/11 that would be the defining issue for me. Do I want to saddle my children and grandchildren with more debt? No. But this is now. It does my kids no good to have a lower debt if they're not alive to enjoy it. So with a son who works in NYC and watched the twin towers from his office window, national security is the defining issue for me. And what I saw of the Democrats on this issue during my time in the House (1973-1988) makes me very skeptical that they are up to it.

I can't vote for Bush because the people he appointed failed us and him, and there is no sign he understands this or intends to change it.

I won't vote for Kerry until and unless I know who he'll appoint. Try Cohen at Defense, Holbrook at State, Rubin at Treasury, Lee Hamilton at CIA, and Hillary at Justice. Would you mention these names next time you talk with him?
