I agree with working from within the party to correct it. But if the leadership on top prefers convenience over principle, then down ticket candidates (like Toomey, Herman Cain, etc.) are rejected by the party leadership (these candidates it was said are too conservative and will cost us Senate seats. Maybe, but I doubt it with Cain in Georgia. A black conservative male running against a liberal black female in a conservative state - HELLO!.)
Then, I ask what good is it working inside the party if those making the decisions are interested in winning elections with little regard for our Constitutional safeguards?
I feel it to be a Hobson's choice. Don't fret - I'll vote for Bush, but not with a lot of enthusiasm.
And that's all he cares about - he's got your vote and therefore your implied approval of all the Big Government crap of the last 4 years.
Have any commitments been extracted from Bush this election cycle to turn around any of his crappy policies and tendencies? He may be running scared of losing his job, but not for the right reasons.
