Re: "So-called conservatives who waste their votes on 3rd parties tend to be malcontents who are addicted to griping and whining. It is very suspicious that such people gripe only about Bush and say nothing about Kerry. It is very curious where their true political allegiances lie."

This is nonsense. You can be suspicious all you want but a person has to make up their own mind. Bush is better than Kerry but his policies are very worrisome to conservatives in almost every aspect you can name, even the war on terror. Your passion for him (BUSH) is only explainable by the alternative in Kerry or the desire for the GOP to retain power. I myself have not decided what I will do but I will not put up with those who want to question my devotion to the party. If the GOP does not measure up on the issues I will consider a 3rd party if need be. If the GOP doesn't want to loose those votes than reconsider policy. CASE CLOSED!!!!

You're as screwed up on political issues as you are in belonging to an excommunicated religious sect.
