Great!! Thanks for the banner. I know some on FR question my motives. I voted for Bush 1, Bush 2, have voted straight Republican ticket for years .. but as I've posted before I believe the policy is detrimental to the US and potentially ruinous.

The consequences are an interminable series of compromises which results in oblivion. The Republican party is not a populus party at all, the Republicans know that the common American will always vote for a Republican for there is no alternative. IF Republican constituents expressed their displeasure at this circumstance, by voting for a presidential alternative, this would not be so.

I am a hardline GOP elephant for over 30 years, I have voted my 'conscience' a few times. What I dislike about the dem party is they are not willing to admit they have any party but their own. Many of us lean towards Libertarian/Independent because we see our loyalities are being betrayed. It does not mean we hate Bush, no one wishes we could vote for him more than we do.

Alot of people are worried about a Perot or a close election, but they shouldn't shoot the messenger because we will not stand for this. Bush is doing this to himself with bad Rove advice. And the job market news that came out yesterday will hurt him more than we ever could taking our stand.

That is what America is about people...OUR rights...OUR choice...not being a loyalist when our party is the one letting US down!
