".....the republicans can get away with this because conservatives have nowhere else to turn."
I feel differently than you do.....I'm not going to vote at all in 2004.
"I feel differently than you do.....I'm not going to vote at all in 2004."Don't be that way. Not voting does not send a message to the Republicans. You have to let them know that they lost a vote. Go and vote a third party. That way they will see that some conservatives have decided not to be taken for granted.
