I remember the “compassionate” especially when Bush was trying to “compromise” with the Democrats.
But I don’t remember too much of the “conservatism”. Except when it came to standing up to and fighting back against Democratic sleazy tactics. Then Bush conserved a lot of his time and efforts. And he conserved money when he had a chance to help fund conservative candidates (like Pat Toomey) in 2006.
What I’m hoping for is the McCain tries to cut spending and fights back against the Dem lies.
So far he has shown a good deal of “fight” in himself. Hopefully he will do something to end or cut back all the earmark spending in Congress and across the board in the federal government.
I agree that the odds are slim, and if you want to vote third party or not vote at all, go ahead. As for me, I’ll hold my nose and continue to do all I can personally to support and elect conservatives, here in Pennsylvania and in the rest of the country.
As of today, the only money I’ve donated is to Captain Duncan D. Hunter (Hunter’s son) and Colonel Bill Russell.
No doubt about it, it’s going to be a rough 4 years coming.
