GW..? Do you mean George Washington, or GWB?
I never said I didn't like President Bush. I have supported him without fail up til now, even on decisions I wasn't entirely comfortable with. I did a lot of work on behalf of his re-election, and many of the bumperstickers I designed supporting him are still on the road. Go to my Member's Page to get one.

I never appointed myself a "Conservative god" and I wouldn't even consider myself a conventional conservative by any stretch of the imagination. If I really got into my personal views, I'm pretty sure I would get myself in trouble with the God Squad around here.

I'm just for common sense: limited government, fiscal responsibility, lower taxes, and a competent, scholarly judiciary that relies on the text of the US Constitution, not foreign law, not the Bible, and not their own sense of "social justice". One of my main problems with Miers is I don't buy Bible study as a singular qualification for the Supreme Court.

But above all, I'm for smart political gamesmanship, something I've seen no evidence of from the White House or much of the elected Republicans in quite some time -- and I'm mad as hell about it.

Regarding who I support for 2008, it's just way too soon to start committing myself to anyone.
I do know that I would like to see Newt Gingrich make a serious run. I would be inclined towards him.
But ultimately, as my first loyalty is to political pragmatism, my support is ultimately with whomever can keep the Clintons out of the White House.
