First I'm by no means a moderate. I'm quite sure I'm every bit as conservative as you. I appreciate your call to fight and urge to have a real conservative to vote for. Unfortunately we have what we have. All the fighting, hollering and protesting isn't going to change who the candidates are in this election cycle they've already been established. Your fight is just and I hope you continue it as will I but '08 is here already and the fight for a pure conservative torch bearer is for 2010 and 2012.

We either elect a Republican and hope that he vigorously persues the WOT, keeps taxes and spending in check does no harm or we get what I referenced in my previous post. Given a choice between slow erosion or complete subjucation to socialism I will still rather have the slow erosion. At least that alllows us to survive and fight for another conservative that will come along. If we sit home and allow Hillary to take the reigns will will never, I repeat never see conservatism rise again. Once state run healthcare and the many other programs she will bring are here, they are never going away. Hell all of FDR's quick fixes are still with us and that was before we were a nation with 20-40 million illegals that had their hands in the cookie jar!

NO, I will not vote for a rino. When are we going to EVER learn? We have this SAME argument every election. It's time to put an end to it NOW!!!

If the majority of repubs want to be useless, and just vote to keep Hillary out of the WH, then they will end up getting her voted INTO the WH by electing a rino/moderate. This Election is about "change." People are sick of MODERATE Bush, and they don't care about voting to keep the dem canidate out just to elect another version of Bush. If you "Any Repub" people haven't learned the lesson of '06, which was electing conservatives in the primaries and kicking these moderate prix out, then this party is doomed for this election.

I warned in '06, I will never again vote for another rino/moderate just to prevent a dem win, and I venture to predict the majority of Conservatives, Indepedents, Libert, BD Dems, fense sitters, will not vote for one either. I think a vote for a rino as the repub canidate, not only gives us a further decline of conservatism, but ensures a dem victory.
