Wow I must not really fit in here at FR.
Bush came in at 47 and Kerry at 41...
No, you're fine; you jumped in during an election season where actual conservatives are being bullied to support the President's liberal-conservative agenda (Clintonism as far as I see it) to thwart the outright liberal-socialist agenda Kerry represents. The real problem lies four years down the road - if Hillary Clinton doesn't die of innate meanness she'll be the Democrat's nominee against no one we can yet see competing against her. I'm thinking J.C Watts, but I fear he and everyone else capable of beating her no longer want anything to do with the Republican Party. If that doesn't tell you there's a serious corruption problem that needs to be dealt with I don't know what else to tell you. The "R" house needs a cleaning or will go down under the accuulated weight of it's sin.
