I find it sadly amusing that I am accused of being a liberal Democrat. The accusation is so far beyond the pale--it is so irrational and bizarre--that I don't even experience an emotional response to it. It is like being accused by schizophrenic of being insane.

I have never donated more money to Republican candidates than I have this election cycle. I am even directly and actively assisting (10 to 20 hours a week) a Republican hopeful in his House campaign. I would be willing to bet that not one of the Bush-supporters here have donated one tenth as much in money or time on behalf of the Republican Party as I have over the past three or four months.

I see the salvation of conservative principles to lie in an invigorated Republican majority in Congress--not in a "compassionate conservative" Bush presidency.

I would much rather have four years of gridlock courtesy of an invigorated Republican majority in Congress than four more years of record-breaking deficit spending and social welfare transfer payments courtesy of Karl Rove and George W. Bush.

Kevin, are you surprised at all by who here at FR are making the irrational comments about your article?

Can you now concede that your former opponents here are the ones that can see your point, -- and are applauding your efforts, even though they may disagree on some of its basics?

But you won't get " four years of gridlock ";therein lies the fallacy of your "plan". You have NO guarantee that the GOP would hold onto the majority they have in both Houses now, and there IS, after all, mid-term elections.

A Dem president WOULD be the one to nominate Judicail appointments/nominees for the Supreme Court, write any EOs he so chooses to, and to do all kinds of end-runs on Congress. Remember the Clinton years? Remember what the media did to the GOPers and to Newt?

Give this more thought. Try to imagine what Kerry WOULD do! You want us sold out to the UN? You want a President Kerry ( spit, gag, puke )treating terrorism as though it was just a " criminal " episode, to be handled by local police, as the first bombing of the WTC was, under Clinton ?

I know & FWIW, I think it's downright laughable.

Reagrdless if patrons agree with your rant, I would think it obvious that you aren't a disgruntled Democrat.

But hey, it's easier than debating the points you made and allowing them to stand or fall on their own merit.

Regards Kevin.
