We have met the enemy…
Here's a pretty old legacy post from the blog archives of Geekery Today; it was written about 20 years ago, in 2004, on the World Wide Web.
If recent Presidential debates have not been entirely to your liking, then you might enjoy this vigorous, reasoned debate on foreign policy between two men with strongly held views.

Though Bush has horrid foreign policy, his domestic policies are pretty sensible compared to some the things Kerry was proposing.
However the,The RNC has been doing some really naughty things and I am not big on voting for either of the major party candidates. Go Badnarik!

“Though Bush has horrid foreign policy, his domestic policies are pretty sensible compared to some the things Kerry was proposing.”
I’m not sure what you have in mind here. Bush’s plans for the next four years of domestic policy are: more deficits, more entitlement spending, more federal control over education, and more moralistic command and control over people’s bodies, lives, and faith.
Kerry is just as bad as Bush on spending and entitlements, but better on fiscal responsibility, and far better on not using the power of the state to assault peaceful people who happen not to share his morals.
The only point I can see with any advantage for Bush is that he favors expanding and strengthening Health Savings Accounts. Otherwise, he’s just as much, or more, of a spendthrift busybody as Kerry, and far worse on some important issues.
