This is what happens when conservatives follow the GOP's "lesser of two evils" strategy. When you vote for someone who's not a conservative, don't act surprised when he doesn't act like one.

The GOP needs a wake-up smack on the head. Voting 3rd party and likely allowing a Dem to get voted in for the short term, is better than more Bushes for the long term.

But didn't that exact "strategy" get us 8 years of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush?

So you would be content with the greatest of two evils?

"Voting 3rd party and likely allowing a Dem to get voted in for the short term, is better than more Bushes for the long term."

That would only be true if you had a chance of getting your 3rd party candidate elected. You don't.

You don't remember 1992? That is, 1992 though January 2001?

Remember, that brilliant strategy got us the WAR ON TERROR, secrets sold to the Chinese, politics of personal destruction, and a bit sucking sound under the White House desk.
