I really do understand your point. I’m also disappointed in the republican party. I’m a true conservative, myself. Presently, there’s too much spending and not enough back bone. It’s not all Bush’s fault. There are way too many Rinos in office. However should the Libertarians want to run someone for President, they need to gain influence. It would mean winning elections of Senators and Congressmen in big numbers. Then the Libertarian Party would gradually grow, get exposure, gain the support, influence (and money) they do require to run someone for President. There is no way by the election 2004, only 12.5 months away, is a Libertarian going to be elected by the American people. Many probably don’t even know what a Libertarian is.

Hence, the no vote for Bush will turn out to be a vote for the Democrats. A Democrat as President at this critical time is really one of my biggest fears, as it should be. Sad but it's the reality of the situation at the present time.

I am not unrealistic in my expectations. I know that a Libertarian will not win in 04 almost surely. But, the point is if I want to stick to my guns, I cannot wait for fair weather. You have to make the case to the Republicans that conservatives will not be taken for granted. If every four years is not a good time for doing it, then good time will never roll along.
