I guess I can thank the likes of you for the first Clinton victory, then.

The typical silly comment....

No, you should guess you can thank GHWBush for the Clinton victory.

making the good the victim of the perfect.

You mean good such as

The gigantic prescription-drug entitlement making its way through the Capitol will force the budget even further into the red and the nation even deeper into debt.

Sorry, but these are the words, not of a 'malcontent' like me, but of a pretty reliably conservative writer.

No yours is the silly comment. I guess since GHWBush was not the "perfect conservative" in your eyes you packed up your toys and went home. There was nothing noble or principled about those who "sat it out" in 92. Now you want to do the same for GWBush. Just think, by you not voting for Bush (in 92) at the very least you didn't cancel out a Clinton vote. Too many doctronaire conservatives did this (or voted fpr Perot as a protest) and we got 8 years of a president who lied and tried to nationalize 1/7th of the economy. GW Bush may not be my kind of conservative but I'll vote for him in heart beat because as imperfect as he is, anyone form the jackass party scares me to death in these perilous times.

Besides if you want to something constuctive and try to help the country, work for real conservatives at the local level and especially in the primary process. Don't walk away like some pissed off brat who didn't get everything he wanted because GWB does fit your defination of a "real" conservative.

Un-friggin-belivable!

Go ahead and sit 04 out, RJ. But that means you weill have NO RIGHT to complain or even praise anyone from 04-08.

I honestly don't care who you vote for. But I simply cannot respect anyone who 'sits out' their vote for whatever reason.
