If I get my account pulled because of my integrity so be it. I disagree with Jim Robinson on this issue. I have also explained my principled stances and disagreements with Bush so that they may be examined and rebutted or even corrected. So far they have not. There MUST come a point at which the leftward drift of the Republican candidate is so far that principled conservatives will revolt. Otherwise the platform of the Democrats today will continue to be the platform of the Republicans tomorrow, as it has been for the past 70 years. Bush, taken as a whole, on his record, is approximately equivalent to FDR, yet he's a republican. I must accept this? I see some of the worst possible things happen under Bush yet I must vote for him because he has an (R) next to his name and somebody assures me that it would be even worse if it was a (D)? Well, those things are even worse than what the last (D) did when he held the office so on what basis should I believe that argument??
Right now I am toiling my life away in liberal hell created by a Republican, so what difference does it make? If conservatives are not allowed to say when enough is enough then it will never end. Principles are never upheld by comprimise.
