Enough small government single issue voters are going to jump ship in 2008 to sink the GOP in many races. And it will be the fault of the neocons

I'm not a single issue voter, and I'll probably vote libertarian. It's just that on all my issues there is not very much difference between the pubs and the dems. Gun control, government spending, illegal immigration - I don't see the pubs doing much conservative on these fronts.

That's because neocons have taken over. Neocons want to spend like dems, but they say socially conservative things to keep the base happy. And they are pro-authoritarian statism.

I got neo-conned into voting Republican in 2000 because I believed the hype.

Sadly, I agree with you. I voted for Sonny as a protest vote- never thinking he had a prayer of unseating a sitting Governor- but obviously, Barnes had offended enough voting blocks to get the boot, despite all the influence-peddling he indulged in. The joke down here- six hours away from the fever swamps of Hot-lanta, was "Roy Barnes? Why, he's the best Governor money can buy..."

While not as blatantly corrupt, Sonny seems to have no problem spending everybody else's money. My tagline is from a true story--
