I agree with you that President Bush is the lesser of 2 evils; no doubt about it....but his feet are still made of CLAY, & therefore the composition of the rest of the statue makes little difference: it will still come crashing down.
Whether it be the construction of a building, or religious & political principles, the FOUNDATION is the most essential factor: it carries the weight of the rest of the object.
I am totally convinced that it is time for conservatives--or more importantly, those who insist that the Constitution be strictly adhered to--leave the GOP in droves & establish a foundation that is as solid as the one created by the Founding Fathers. History has proven that strict interpretation of the Constitution WORKS, & has made us the envy of the world.
The GOP Establishment is basically the same as the Dims in many aspects--take for instance President Bush's & Sen. Kerry's membership in that secret fraternity from Yale (the name escapes me now)...or how the Establishment of BOTH major political parties involve themselves in the Council on Foreign Relations (VP Cheney, Bob & John Kerry, Kissinger, Clinton, Gingrich, Lieberman, McCain, Carter, & Bush 41, just to name a few)...or the fact that neither Party will do ANYTHING to control our borders...or have, hand-in-hand, helped to create a national debt of $7.4 TRILLION (& rising!). I could continue, but you get the picture.
