Ha! So is yours. It's not called the stupid party for nothing you know. Blackbird.

And you expect to make your voice known by electing Democrats? How many Libertarians have been elected recently? Or Reform Party? I'm just curious whether you know the bottom-line on your third-party strategy. Vote your conscience, if you will, but don't be surprised when Democrats end up making laws that govern your existence...

Your vote for most repubs is no different than if you had voted straight rat on your ticket. There are damn few exceptions to this, most repubs are rats in drag. Get used to disappointment, plenty heading our way. When I see someone, anyone in the stupid party develop some spine, I might reconsider. The only thing the rats will govern over me, will be my demise, but I'll go down from standing, not on my knees. Blackbird.

B2K, that's the point I continually make to them. If the Left has control of the White House and keeps the Senate due to our voters staying home, they'd best not open their mouths when Leftist extremists are seated for the Supreme Court.

I have voted my conscience all my life…especially for Reagan (truly the last conservative and last of a dying breed), and again for Bush Sr…especially because I believed his “no new taxes pledge”…since then, I am no longer surprised when Republicans now end up making the same (Democrat) laws that govern my existence.

The Republican party walked away from me. My conscience (and what I vote for) has not changed…Bush Sr’s tax deal, Republican failure to even try Clinton in the Senate, and now conceivably Bush W’s seeming reversal on constitutional issues (let alone conservative issues) indicate that his conscience (his faith notwithstanding) rather than my conscience has changed. My vote matters enough to me personally that I expect pledges for my vote to be kept and the laws upheld. Period. Reagan stood his ground and I see no reason why Bush can’t either. I suspect most of us would stand together with him.

But if Bush (Rino’s) won’t stand for what I believe, then I’ll stand alone..
