Conservatives Must Rally

One of the worst decisions I ever made was after Bush 41 broke his "read my lips, no new taxes" pledge. Like millions of other outraged conservatives, I sat on my hands, gave Bush no money, and offered no help whatsoever in his campaign for reelection. Although he only got a minority of the votes cast, because of this and because of the entry of Perot, we got Clinton, a debased White House and 9/11.

Again in 2006, many conservatives stayed home or voted to send a message to Washington because of the failures of the Republican majority in Congress and the blunders and the agony of the Iraq sector of the war on terror.

I plan to vote conservative. It got me a good conservative congressman in the last election. On the other hand I held my nose and voted for two other republicans I didn’t like and both lost.

Conservatives can best rally by distinguishing themselves from the increasingly socialist Republican party and form their own party.

I plan to vote conservative, but Giuliani and Romney aren’t conservative.

I can see from the comments so far that we are going to have Hillary Clinton in the White House signing every bill sent to her by Nancy and Harry, and total disaster in Iraq. If you were disappointed by the Republicans, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

A good rallying point for conservatives in and beyond the Republican Party is the presidential campaign of Congressman Ron Paul.
