As in I live in a cabin in the woods, grow sorghum and trap and shoot my own meat, limited government?
Time to move into the real world, which is a bit more complicated than chinking those logs in August.

You're a baldfaced liar. If you're going to speak about me in the open, have the courtesy to ping me, okay?
This is a ch__ch. What's missing?
At least his Supreme Court nominees (well, after Harriet Miers) so far have been what he campaigned on. And those are important because they will more likely than not be the Supreme Court justices when our kids are adults!
I, too, wish he would slow the spending. But he never said he would, and I was under no illusions that he was going to if re-elected.

Sworn to up hold the Constitution for starters, not sign laws to undemine it. I was quite clear in my rant.
So what is your goal?
One less vote in any election and if a Dem wins then oh well its not my problem?
Or,
One more vote for an Independent, which equals one more vote for a Dem and if a Dem wins then oh well its not my problem?
Where do you live - in the middle of nowhere?
If you don't like something the GOP has done, work to change it. Run off the join the handful of third party wonders who never win anything and then spend all their time being sad, angry little men if that makes you feel better.
I guess standing in the rain at our place of voting handing flyer's, going door to door in favor of a Republican Congressman and other numerous activities does not count?
P.S. It's a heck of alot more than $25.00 Pal!
Exactly what I was thinking - sleeper troll.
Which of those laws were signed after you voted for Bush in '04?
The judges nominated by this president are no different than the judges nominated by the demonrats.

Certainly the second time anyway. But in any case, as we listen to the "ain't never gonna vote GOP again" crowd, I always wonder just where they are going to go. Perhaps they believe that Hillary or Kerry would have nominated Roberts and Alito....
I share your sentiments.
I must agree. As sympathetic as I am with many of your goals, if you can't express them properly you're not giving them any reason to bother listening.
Also, I don't think that there's much of a threat in pulling your financial support, unless that support is substantial.
There is no such thing as a civilian organization prepared to jump into immediate action to handle a large scale disaster of any kind, period. Even the military needs some time to operate on a national disaster scale operation and they can launch limited operations within hours.
To expect that somehow if the gov't had been smaller and less money being wasted would allow the federal gov't to supercede local and state gov't operational plans and somehow rescue 100,000 people hours after a disaster is fairly ignorant of reality. It has nothing to do with gov't size or layers - it has to do with local, regional, and state authority coordinating with Federal agencies to augment a plan that needs greater assistance levels than can be provided at the local and state levels.
BTW, if you are expecting any gov't on the face of this planet to come to your immediate rescue in any disaster, you are in for more bad news. Local churches and church supported organizations always accomplish much of the relief efforts in these kinds of situations and are never recognized for their efforts.
There's some disagreement on what kind of candidate can win elections, so I would rather just measure the candidates' conservatism and leave it at that. Your "fringer" label is what passes for debate from your side whenever we have a chance at a real conservative.
