Really? You have brother-in-laws?
Most people have brothers-in-law. Are they stockstraders too?
So you are going to speak for your relatives...good.
If Hillary is elected in '08 due to the Republicans abandoning their conservative base, then you, your wife, your two sons and your two brother-in-laws will deserve what y'all get...President Rodham Clinton.
I won't. I will have voted against her in the only real sense...by casting a vote for the Republican nominee after voting for Fred Thompson in the primaries.
See how much sense that makes?
Oh really? Real conservatives (including stockStraders or brother-in-lawS, or yes, possibly even ChungaS, although that is obviously a bit of a stretch) don't 'check their principles at the door;,,,,and vote for LIBERALS who are Republicans in name only (just because they have an "R" next to their name).
As President Reagan so eloquented summed up my feelings on the willingness of so-called conservatives like you to compromise your values,,,,
"So, it was our Republican Party that gave me a political home. When I signed up for duty, I didn't have to check my principles at the door. And I soon found out that the desire for victory did not overcome our devotion to ideals".
--Ronald Reagan remarks at the Republican National Convention in New Orleans, August 15, 1988.
"See how much sense that makes"? (if I may borrow your last comment...lol) If it comes down to Rudy as your nominee,,,enjoy your NEW Party.
