I have no idea what the politics of Ford owners are but from what I've seen on this board over the past few years, the majority of Mustang Works members vote Republican.
I'm one of them, proud of it and have debated and discussed politics at length here in past years, so my stands are well known by those who might be interested. Hint: I'm a conservative, Rush Limbaugh style.
I'll add this; in my opinion there is nothing wrong with being a member of a political party, assuming that the party shares your core political beliefs, of course. In 2001, being a 'third-party' candidate is an exercise in futility but many (Libertarians come to mind) are convinced that this is the way to go, and joining either the Republican or Democrat party is considered a sell-out to a corrupt system.
Maybe; but this is the system we have and better to get something accomplished within it - as Bush is doing - then wave your fist, carp and complain for four years while accomplishing
nothing and being ignored by almost everyone. That kind of empty gesture doesn't do it for me, but neither does 'refusing' to vote, as if this somehow has some real effect on anything (or anyone). I take my vote seriously and don't consider it simply some meaningless function, but then, if others choose not to vote, that simply gives those of us who
do more power. I'll accept that. Thanks.
Finally; the rap on President Bush as being dumb is a phony Democrat/media invention, based mostly on the fact that he isn't glib (at best) and inarticulate (at worst).
The media treasure glibness; think Clinton, who could lie and make all the proper facial and body gestures to go along with whatever lie he was spouting that moment and the media - and the public - ate it up for eight years.
Bush is smart and shrewd, as was President Reagan, just not in the way most liberal media types find acceptable (good with words). This is why they adored JFK in the sixties; witty and quick with snappy and cogent response to questions. Clinton came close, sometimes (without the in-bred class that the Kennedy money added to the JFK persona).
Bush isn't super-quick or especially quotable, but he has two degrees and much more important, he gets what he wants and like Reagan, will be a good President, but the partisans will forever call him 'dull' and 'dumb' (as they called Reagan 'dumb' and even 'senile'). It's unavoidable. It's also dead wrong.
Looking forward to a good four years with a President that cares as much about his country as he does himself. Nice change.
Did I mention that I was Republican?
