Hmmm, and what exactly did any of that have to do with a Supreme Court as flawed as this one is, and was appoint 77.7% by Republican Presidents?

Look CWO, in my second (or thereabouts) response to you, I admitted that I don't have any easy answers on this one. I do however at least have the capaicity to acknowledge that a problem exists.

As for not doing anything, I vote right along with you on many issues. There are times when I can't. I don't have to be in the Republican party to accomplish this.

"...and was appoint 77.7% by Republican Presidents?"

President Bush isn't one of your 77.7%.

And good for you on the Republican Party. I've never been in the GOP. I've been an independent all my life and have only voted a straight ticket a few times.

But I've always made the votes necessary to best "advance" my ideals and desires, and always will. And that has included a few libertarians at the local level.

I refuse to throw my vote away in protest and I won't just give up.

Like you, Governor Bush wasn't my first choice, but two things changed that.

1) He became one of two choices, and

2) The more I studied what he had done in Texas the more I became interested in the man. He does what he thinks is right, regardless of whichever party he offends.

And while he doesn't do everything I want, and does things I don't like, I don't think he's doing a half bad job and if the Republicans in Congress had any spine I think he'd do a far better job.

And I don't have any illusions about November. There are two choices: President Bush and John Kerry. Now I'm going to do everything in my power to get the President re-elected, and to get him and the GOP to do what I want them to.
