We have to do a much better job in the Republican primaries next time and make sure that the nominee meets what we really want.

I really don't buy your lesser of two evils rationale. Bush is a conservative with a strong conservative record to run on. When you compare Reagan to Bush both were strong on defense, tax and economic policy, social issues and American foreign policy. Both failed on spending because of the larger goals each were trying to achieve.

I don't see how you can't. The difference is stark. One evil will abandon the war on terror and the other won't. One will go to NARAL for approval of his court nominees, the other won't. One will actively seek out approval of the powers in Europe for policy, the other doesn't give a damn about them. One will actively seek to undermine 2nd Amendment rights and the other will at worst, remain neutral. One will seek to raise taxes, the other will at least hold the line.

So they both want to waste money on NEA. So they both want to ignore the illegal alien problem. Looking at the total package, I don't see how you can be neutral about the other side.
