Excuse me but it was Bush who made the decision to be a "compassionate" conservative with all its analogous wild spending and freebie programs. I'm not unappeaseable. Don't f$%^ with the Constitution, reduce the size of govt and keep Islamonazis from killing me and he's got my vote. Not a tall order by any means. Now that there's the possibility he won't be facing a psycho, he'd better start courting those who elected him in the first place. If he loses, he should blame no one but himself.
Sorry, you'll have to do better than that.
You can't keep the Islamic Fascists at bay and reduce the size of government. That's just stupid. War is the health of the State, as everyone knows here. Bush can be blamed for domestic spending increases, but all that pales in comparison to the war we are in.
I excuse no one for sitting out this, the most important election of our time. People like Kerry still think of terrorism as a police problem; people such as his wife think it's partly our fault. None of them understands the civilizational stakes except, perhaps, Lieberman.
Howard Dean reflects the activist base of the Party far more than the Kerry or Edwards crowd do. Their anger is unappeaseable, so to speak.
For any conservative to sit out this election when the stakes are so high is inexcusable. For any conservative to vote for nonsense outfits such as the Constitution Party or Harry Brown's people is beneath contempt.
Bush isn't a liberal, and it's time that Conservatives quit treating him as one.
We're in a global war. Act like it.
Be Seeing You,
Chris
