I have a sinking feeling that no matter who the GOP nominee is, a lot of "conservatives" who stayed home in 2006 will do the same in 2008 . . .

I didn't stay home in 2006. I voted as I always do, but for a change, I voted for some Democrats . . . or, rather, I voted against some of our local GOP incumbents who demonstrated continuous contempt for the values and the concerns of the voters who had elected them the last time around. If Rudy Giuliani is the Republican nominee in 2008, I will make it a point to cast a vote . . . against him.

I've always preferred to vote against the RINO candidates in the primary but not the general election. Even if a RINO is elected, it does help to boost the conservative voice in government by helping to achieve majorities in either the Senate, House or governments at the state and local level. Conservatives have 0 voice in a Democrat-party controlled government, even if those conservatives are Democrats. We only have to look at the long "dead" bad ideas that the liberals have managed to resurrect:

Now while the RINOS did nothing to advance conservative causes, at the very least, these bad ideas remained dead. Now they have new life, and a very real chance of becoming reality, because of the new Democrat majority. If Mrs. Bill Clinton is not stopped, then we are screwed.

so you would vote for Clinton over Rudy? yikes that is disturbing. I vote my heart in the primaries which will be Fred if he runs if not then probably Duncan Hunter
then if it is Rudy vs. Hillary i will hold my nose and vote for someone i agree with say 30% of the time over 0%
