You know I'm as big of a Bush and GOP supporter as many. But I can't see how my life is all that different (to the good) since we got back the White House and the Senate.
While I'm sympathetic with your take, I'd ask you to consider the state of the union had Al Gore won the Presidency in 2000, or Kerry in the 2004. No tax cuts, probably large tax increases. More appeasement to terror, with probably several more terrorist attacks on America. No national missile defense in the face of North Korean and Iranian (and let's not forget Saddam's Iraq) weapon development. Full speed ahead for cultural degradation (abortion, stem cell research, "gay" marriage). More "Elian Gonzales" decisions. Economic malaise on a terrible scale after the collapse of stock market and 9/11. Adoption by executive order of the essence of the Kyoto protocol. Et cetera. Just things to consider.
Lastly, let's begin to work now to nominate and elect political candidates who more nearly reflect conservative principles in future elections.
