This is where we differ. I don't see GOP vs DEM as us vs. them. I see it as THEM vs. THEM. And while conservatives certainly have better chances with the GOP, they shouldn't treat the GOP as their team, imo. The GOP are politicians (ignoble charlatans.) They should be used to our advantage. But we shouldn't swear an oath to them. I don't. And if we are so loyal to "our" team, how to hold them accountable?
I'm not a politician. I don't calculate this vs. that. I think what I think and I vote how I vote. If a Democrat comes along with a good platform, I'll vote for him. I couldn't give two craps about the GOP.
Too many people forget that WE are the customers and the pols are supposed to work FOR us in order to keep our votes.

This is where we differ :) The Dems are polar opposite of most republicans in the house, senate, and certainly the White House. Besides the border, over spending, and a couple other smaller issues, Bush has represented the conservates gallantly. He has been a moral, straight shootin, Reaganesque leader. Whereas almost anybody running as a democrat has a moral compass that is doing 360's, are aligned closer to marxism than JFK liberalism, and would outspend this White House easily (not easy to do). It's like night and day.
