Clank. Clank. Clank.

No doubt if more people listened to you, then life would be better, correct?

Maybe they have, and don't like what they hear.They may not be "clanking " on, but have dismissed you and yours for the marginal also rans that you wish you weren't.Moaning about how rotten the rest of the electorate is for not drinking your Kool Aid is a surefire way to restore that dream of a Constitutional Republic.A stick in the eye is always a treat.

The scope and scale of the federal government grows every year, regardless of whether the Democrats or Republicans are in power. Many 1000's of laws created in the past 50 or so years have no basis in the Constitution, nor do many of the departments and agencies currently operated by the federal government and paid for with our tax money. Meanwhile, the only powers granted the federal government in the Constitution (toward the goal of providing for a common defense, insuring domestic tranquility, and securing the blessings of liberty) are atrophied at best, and completely ignored at worst. Even the borders that define us as a nation not longer have meaning.

I have no doubts that George Bush is a more principled man, a more honest man, and a more moral man that Bill Clinton, and I do trust Bush as much as I would ever trust any politician. But that isn't saying much. The trajectory that we are on with regard to social policy, foreign policy, governmental influence and interference, etc., is not based on the principles that the Constitution codifies, and is not based on Conservative ideals.

Choosing the lesser of 2 evils is the curse of a damned culture.
