Two reasons conservatives should vote for Bush:

1) He is an excellent Commander-in-Chief in the midst of the current war for the survival of our civilization.

2) There's no other choice out there that isn't demonstrably far worse.

Them's the facts, Jack. Like it or not, this is what we are stuck with. Find me a small-government conservative or libertarian with a credible chance of becoming President, and I'll find you several million conservatives to support him or her.

There's a danger in your argument. We train the Pubbies wrong. It's ok to live like Libs (see 33 reasons) - just pander to the Right a little at election time.

Better to cost them the WH and think long(er) term. Else each election cycle convervatives have no pwer and are taken for granted; equal to African-Americans on the Dem side. Better to keep them up at night for four years trying to get back in the WH.
