Hooray! Now, let's hope SOMEONE ELSE gets a third party candidate and movement going! Maybe tomorrow. Over there.
I've learned over the years to laugh at the political punditry of you third party "real conservatives". Most of y'all couldn't find your ass using both hands, much less forecast the outcome of real people doing real work withing real political instritutions to elect real people pursuing their real priorities.
You sure are virtuous and strong on the internet, however. There's never been a more vital cyber force than "true patriots" defending "real conservatism". Nobody shows pure ideological valor over the WAN, and uncompromising principle via TCP/IP like you guys do.
And to think ... none of you are even wearing pants.
I also see that no matter how many conservative programs initiated and actions he has made, it is never good enough. If we cannot get a majority in the Senate and hold the house, we are in real danger of seeing funding cut from defense and a bogging down of the war. This is unacceptable.
There are a whole lot of supposed conservatives living in a fool's paradise. The major goal politically is to regain the Senate, so that we can get those judges and also get some decent legislation, like further tax cuts and social security reform and vouchers. Staying home will not help get the Senate and will endanger President Bush's second term, giving us possibly someone like Hillary or Gore. This is also unacceptable.
People keep saying they want a Reagan. Reagan signed a farm bill. Reagan signed a larger budget than he wanted. Reagan signed an amnesty bill. I could list a hundred things Reagan did out of compromise and the desire to advance his main goals.
The main goal for President Bush is to win the war and to take back the Senate in order to get the judicial appointments. All of the rest of this stuff can be rescinded and re-done at a later date.
But, if we lose the war, we don't have a second chance.Nothing else will matter.
If we can't get the judicial appointments, we will have 20 years of liberal judges, and maybe never again will we have the opportunity to shape national policy.
Therefore, hold your nose and vote Republican, even if it is Arlen Specter or Olympia Snowe. They will give us the two things we most need and which cannot be reversed. The other things can be changed, but the war and the judiciary are permanent.
