According to you definition there are no conservatives because there is Conservative Party. Neocons and liberal republicans are pro big government and will ruin the party. There is a reason the only message you hear about the 2006 elections are "we aren't as bad as the other guys". Anyone care to explain why we should accept a slow path to disaster instead of a fast one?

there is no Conservative party.

I'm a very conservative Republican. Conservative is a term used to define beliefs, not a alternative party.

Just because I'm 100% pro-gun, property rights, low taxes, doesn't mean that I dumb enough to vote for an "Aardvark" party or abandon the only party that agrees with 99% of what I do.

The confusion that Libertarians have over who to vote for isn't my problem.

It's not something I can solve for them.

Buying time.

It's a military strategy; trade territory for time to build an effective counteroffensive.

Doubt not there are some real conservatives out there waiting to make their move in 2008. A "D" victory in 2006-- or the perception of such-- will render this effort, at best, much more difficult.

And that's all I'm gonna say about that.
