"Gee, I thought this site was about conservatism, not GOPism.
Think for yourself. Things are more complicated than pro Bush /anti Bush."
Uh, they are. Everyone knows that and they don't need you belaboring the OBVIOUS. But we have a 2 PARTY SYSTEM in this country.
We don't have a "pure conservative" party in this country, as they do in Britain.
In PRACTICAL terms (i.e. if you want to BE IN POWER)you either go with the GOP or you're TOAST. Now if you would rather be out-of-power and let the Democrats run things, then great. I suppose your "pure conservatism" will really console you when the Democrats raise your taxes back to the 50% bracket.
BINGO!
Oh please. The Dems are spiralling into irrelevancy, the MSM is discredited more every day, and people don't buy their lies like they used to.
I just don't understand this big fear of Hillary. She's a communist and more and more voters realize this all the time.
Meanwhile, the GOP is shifting left. We all had hope that the post Clinton era would see a revival of conservatism, but no. Bush has been brilliant in some ways, but terribly weak in others. The socialists must be defeated and driven from ever having a foothold again, yet we see him giving them opportunities to hang on at every turn.
So stuff the speech about the two party system. One of those parties could be history forever if it was handled properly. And you're right, conservatives don't have anywhere to go. The Democrat's life support machine is keeping us trapped, and the GOP pollsters know it. As long as "big bad Hillary", or whoever, is out there, we're stuck voting Republican to keep them out of power. If they succeeded in killing the commie beast, they would have competition from the right.
