Dean:
Let's put the Rockwell quote in context and not let people make the mistake
of thinking that he was endorsing Bush over Kerry.  In a long article titled
"The Myth of the Kerry Calamity" (
www.lewrockwell.com/rockwell/kerry-calamity.html
<http://www.lewrockwell.com/rockwell/kerry-calamity.html> ) he wrote:
.
Many bad things would happen under a President Kerry. But many horrible
things have happened under the Bush presidency. This is a regime that has
exploded government power at a pace I hoped we would never see again. Just
once I would like to see one of the Bush supporters write something like:
It is true that he has expanded the budget at twice the rate of Clinton,
that he has created the largest and most powerful new federal bureaucracy
since the WW2, that he has imposed costly protectionist legislation, that he
keeps prisoners of war in violation of international law, that he lied about
Iraq, that he is personally responsible for the deaths of 1,100 US soldiers,
and 15,000+ Iraqi civilians, that his war has inspired terrorism around the
world, and that another four years of this can only mean more loss of
liberty and more bloodshed. And yet, I support his reelection for fear of
Kerry.
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0945466382/lewrockwell/> But
the Bush supporters don't say that. Instead they liken him to God. They
consider him savior. They trust him with leadership. They really credit him
with securing the country. They say that he is ruling in the name of
liberty. It is remarkable, even demonic. The Bush regime isn't just a group
of leaders vying for our affections. It is the world's leading example of
the cult of power itself. Kerry may be dangerous but he heads no cult and
commands no army of deluded religious fanatics willing to celebrate him as
he leads the country into a totalitarian hell of endless war and central
administration.
Nonetheless, this is not an endorsement. It is an anti-endorsement. Until
the day of real freedom arrives, we need both parties so that they might
fight among themselves. Better that they point their guns at each other than
at us.

I like what Lew Rockwell wrote yesterday
(http://www.lewrockwell.com/rockwell/kerry-calamity.html ). Here is what he
wishes Bush supporters had the honesty to say:
It is true that (Bush) has expanded the budget at twice the rate of Clinton,
that he has created the largest and most powerful new federal bureaucracy
since the WW2, that he has imposed costly protectionist legislation, that he
keeps prisoners of war in violation of international law, that he lied about
Iraq, that he is personally responsible for the deaths of 1,100 US soldiers,
