I think there is some truth to what you say about that and I would be a fool not to acknowledge the obvious, but I am not comfortable with this idea of abdicating our responsibilities to some messiah figure who will deliver us when the entire premise of being a conservative is personal responsibility and, in a way, when you are expecting a leader to do your heavy lifting for you it defeats the point of being a conservative.

There are some things you need to outsource to leaders in terms of communication and efficiency, but by their nature political leaders wish to accumulate more power and the power of the state, so I think it is more the problem of the masses to stop this encroachment on our freedoms by the state rather than delegate it to people who have already been compromised.
