If you are in fact a Republican, you are what I refer to as "Nose Less" Republicans. You will cut off your nose to spite your face. You are incapable of thinking beyond "stage-one" (Thomas Sowell "Applied Economics" Thinking Beyond Stage One) George Bush is President to all Americans, not just those of us that espouse a conservative view. No President can totally please his base, not even Clinton. To be reelected in todays enviroment, you have to court the so called independents. Flash...the so called Reform Party does not appeal to independents. Dick Morris says Hillary will accept the VP from Kerry, we have a fight on our hands and united we must stand squarely behind this President. It is that, or sharpen the knives and cut off our noses.

If in fact, Hillary becomes the vice-presidential candidate, I promise that I will withdraw my opposition. However, I find it highly unlikely. Few have risen from Vice-President to President and Hilalry wants to be President.

It is funny that you would call me short-sighted though, because that is exactly what I think of the rest of you. You are willing to sell out a little bit at a time for a short term advantage of having a President with an elephant by his name. When I explain this to people I say that we need to think on a longer term and be ready to accept a little pain now to avoid lots of pain later. We have been on a road to decline for some time. We the people are giving our God given rights up for scraps from government's table. I for one intend to at least try and get some back. I will carry on in Reagan's uncompromising tradition. Or at least if I compromise, it will mean that I only get half of what I want instead of giving the liberals half of what they want.
