Are you a Libertarian take the worlds smallest political quiz to find out http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz.html
I don't quite understand your reasoning.
If you're disgusted with George Bush, the candidate that the Republican Party served up, how can you still maintain loyalty to that party?
Isn't George W. Bush an extension of the party?
Would you continue patronizing a restaurant whose chef continuously served food that was not to your liking?
"President Bush has pledged to do whatever it takes to rebuild the lives and communities devastated by Hurricane Katrina. This pledge comes with a price tag. To deliver this kind of aid, Congress and the President must set priorities and make sacrifices and trade-offs to pay for it. Offsetting the cost of rebuilding is all the more important because the rebuilding effort follows a 33 percent expansion of the federal government since 2001, a period that saw:
* The 2001 No Child Behind Act, the most expensive education bill in American history, which led to a 100 percent increase in education spending;
* The 2002 Farm Security and Rural Investment Act, the most expensive farm bill in American history;
* The 2003 Medicare Modernization Act, the most expensive Great Society expansion in history;
* A war in and the rebuilding of Iraq that, while justified, could cost between $300 and $600 billion, in total;
* International spending leap 94 percent;
* Housing and Commerce spending surge 86 percent;
* Community and regional development spending jump 71 percent;
* Health research spending increase 61 percent;
* Veterans spending increase 51 percent; and
* The number of annual pork projects leap from 6,000 to 14,000. http://www.heritage.org/Research/Budget/wm844.cfm
I think it would be best to vote Republican for President and, where we can do so, find alternatives at the congressional level that can win. Everyone wants to start at the top. The only way to make lasting change is to start at the bottom (local and state level). Build an organization and grow it. If this happens, the Republican Party will morph into a party of moderates that will have a reason to side with the rest of us (or they won't survive). Get involved at the local level. Bust the party machines chops. Go after seats of moderate Democrats and RINOs.
"As disgusted as we are with George W. Bush, we can't give up on the Republican Party."
I don't plan on it. Morally, I can't bring myself to vote for abortion backers at any government level.
We have to remember that they are ALL politicians and we need to remind them that we are here and what are views are. If your senators don't know you by name you probably haven't written them enough.
The Alternative? A much better breed of Republican with respect for the Constitution, National Security and fiscal responsibility.
You know, what we thought we were electing.
I am with you. No matter how much the border situation upsets met, the thought of a Democrat in office makes me physically ill.
