Try reading my following sentence. Don't feign support for him in the first place.
You shouldn't vote for George W. Bush. You should vote for ... ah ... um .... well ... somebody else. Or nobody at all.
But, you'll either be self-destructive or irrelevant. But, it is fun drawing principled lines in sand.
Here is the remainder of your other post.
"Don't board his ship in the first place. But, don't delude yourselves that you will have any positive influence attaining other Conserviative priorities that only George W. Bush and a GOP majority Congress can codify into law."
I did delude myself into thinking that he, along with a GOP majority Congress would enact conservative priorities in 2000. After supporting Keyes throught the primary election, I reluctantly supported Bush, campaigned for him, and voted for him because I was able to delude myself.
After spending our tax money like a drunken democrat, failing to veto ANYTHING, and signing into law some of the most egregious and unconstitutional, and freedom destroying laws, I am no longer under any illusions of him being conservative. I am loyal to this country and to principle, but not to any politician and not to GWB. He, like any other pol, must earn each and every one of my votes. If he fails to see the result of his promise to sign, then he deserves to lose his job. If he doesn't care to see the potential of his promise to sign, he doesn't deserve to be reelected. If the results are ugly, it will be his responsibility, not mine. He has the power to do something about it.
" You should vote for ... ah ... um .... well ... somebody else. Or nobody at all."
That remains to be seen. I will not do anything to help him until I see what he will do. Then I will decide who will get my vote.
