[antiRepublicrat]

The socialist Republian, best explained by example. A Democrat knows he supports a socialist, knows he's voting for increased government. Pretty much all Democrat candidates will have the same general socialist aims.

But an ardent Bush supporter will support him no matter what, even as Bush grows the government. This massive Bush support from Republican voters removes the opportunity for a real conservative Republican to be President.

This massive Bush support from Republican voters removes the opportunity for a real conservative Republican to be President.

The definition of the term 'real conservative' is quite subjective.

Those who try to claim to be the 'real conservatives' should remember that a President is President to all people, not just those who call themselves 'true conservatives.'

The political feelings of people in this country fall across a wide spectrum. A President that satisfied those who call themselves 'true conservatives' would not be serving about 75% of the country.
