What I find ridiculous (there're very few things I "hate") is that anyone calling themselves a conservative would act in a way that would ensure an far far wider array of liberal-left policies to become law, i.e., by helping a Kerry, an Edward, a Clark, or a Dean to become president.

I also find it ridiculous for a conservative to imagine that they can only vote for those who completely toe the line to their own conservative agenda. If you doubt the absurdity of this, simply consider that by the standards being applied here, you would have to have voted against every Republican president and candidate over the past 50 years.

I'm so tired of that "lesser of two evils" crapola, I could vomit! How many times do I have to refute that FALLACY? One more time... a dem can only get elected if 40% or more of the people vote for a dem. I, on the other hand, will vote for a 3rd party candidate (Constitution Party). The definition of "responsibility" suggests that one can only be accountable for his own actions (I know socialism has warped that value so I'm glad to set you straight). Therefore, the people who vote for the dem are the ones that are responsible. The American people! So, get out my face with that tired old baloney.

Furthermore, my standard is the bible. There is no way you or anyone else can say I am wrong for voting for the candidate that best reflects biblical values. Go ahead - try and make a biblical case - you can't! Guess what - socialism isn't biblical.

It would be nice to find a Republican who even towed 50% of the line. Look, your petty jabs at my conservatism isn't going to change a thing - it only makes me more resolved. You can't force people to vote for Bush - you could put a gun to my head and I wouldn't vote for Bush, unless he changes his policies and fast. You vote for who you want, and I will vote for who I want. As Don King would say, "Isn't America wonderful?"
