And therefore people best just shut up and take whatever steaming pile of leftist feces that Bush sends their way with a smile and a thank you... Right? Is that how it works?
No, that's not how it works. I will vote for Bush because he is still the best candidate who has a chance to win this year.
I realize that there are other offices and other elected officials and I will be working to send the most conservative congressmen and senators to DC that I can.
I will also be working for state and local conservatives and I will be working behind the scenes for a more conservative presidential candidate in '08.
There is a lot more to do than complain. You should get involved and work for change.
There are many candidates on many different ballots this November. Promoting conservatism extends well beyond the Presidential candidate. Of course, you don't need a simian like me to call this to your attention . . .
The problem with promoting conservatism via the vote, especially this year, is it requires work; one has to actually study every position and every candidate and determine his or her true stance to the best of one's ability, to determine whether or not that candidate is really conservative. Voting a straight ticket won't cut it; nor will a 'protest' vote for an unelectable, though thoroughly papered, conservative presidential candidate.
Likewise, sitting at home on election day does nothing but affirm moral and intellectual laziness on the part of the sofa warmer.
To thine own self be true . . .
