I am getting tired of the line, "You must vote Republican because the alternative is so bad." When will the Republicans nominate a conservative?

I am getting tired of the line, "You must vote Republican because the alternative is so bad."

Agreed. I've voted a straight libertarian ticket for sometime, but I have to say that I was fairly pleased when Bush won the last election--I actually thought, for a brief moment, that the conservative movement in America will finally gain some ground. Republican President, Republican Congress--things were good to go. Bush promised privatized social security and smaller government. I was fairly excited.

But, after four years of Bush in the White House, I'm reminded again of why I've switched to the LP. His administration has been like a bad joke--or worse--a nightmare for conservatives. Nothing about privatizing social security, nothing substantial in the way of tax cuts, a bloated budget (including a record allotment to the Department of Education), CFR, a massively socialist undertaking in medicare--the list goes on. Not only has Bush not accomplished much on a conservative agenda, he hasn't even proposed many conservative plans to reduce the size and scope of government.

Sorry. People give me this "oh, Kerry is so bad" riff, but from where I'm sitting, the Rs, at the very least, need a massive wake up call.

So?

When will the Republicans nominate a conservative?

If you want a conservative to run who will suit you, run your damn self.

Any other questions?
