NO! There are 3rd parties. Go vote but show these fakes that you are not sheeple & can vote against this "Two-Party Cartel".
You aren't alone with these thoughts.
You have to keep in mind that this article came from a "Libertarian" think tank.
This still is a liberal court & I guarantee you it will be that when GW leaves. This country is run by liberals & will continue. GW thought he could blow Harriet Meirs by us sheeple. Unless death none of those phoney justices will retire & it appears that the dems will take the next election due to GW's debacles of late & stack the court.
However, it would have been more of a liberal court had Kerry gotten in there. One conservative SCJ and a moderate SCJ would have been replaced by 2 Ginsberg liberals.
The next election is a ways away. It all depends on the choices. If our side gets a nominee who can speak and persuade and is likable he will win. The first two elements - speak and persuade - are critical because it's always 2 to 1: Dems + Media against us. We need another Reagan who can reach the public over the heads of the media.
Dubya does it masterfully in one on one interviews but is weak in public speaking. We have few in Congress that can speak well either. It's our achilles heel.
When he's just talking "with folks" he comes across totally different.
My first impression of Dubya was a one on one interview. I was blown away. I believe this was before he had announced for President but not sure. Right then I knew he would be President. It was one of those moments where the light bulb goes on. He was loose and funny and connecting. But you put him behind a lecturn and he's self-conscious and lost. It's sad. We need Republicans that can do what Dubya does one-on-one but do it in a public speaking setting like Reagan could.
I understand the principle, but that's an awfully expensive principle to maintain.
This comment shows you know little of this topic. Quit while you're behind.
Errr...that's "its children".
Bush's 45% versus Clinton's 32%????? Clinton did not have 9/11, the Afghanistan war, the Iraq war, nor Katrina/Rita. What do you estimate Clinton's spending % would be under those circumstances?
BTTT
Welcome back, Chief. Has mainstream conservatism gone so far left that it is conservative to support big government and libertarian to oppose it? If it is, we are in big trouble.
I don't know....maybe the $200 billion Farm Bill, the pork ridden Highway Bill with Alska's famous bridge to nowhere, myabe the $600 billion prescription drug entitlement...I supported the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, but I don't believe that fighting Islamic Fascists means we have to make American taxpayers pay for their governments and drag them from the Middle Ages to the 21st Century.
The Heritage Foundation pleaded with Bush to veto the Farm Bill...they pleaded with him on the Highway Bill, but it fell on deaf ears. I don't believe everything is Bush's fault...I'm no crazy left winger that believes everything from the weather to the stock market is directly related to Bush, but I'm no apologist that demands less than I should from the President of the United States and remains indifferent to the aggressive march of Big Government simply because the guy in the White House has an 'R' beside his name.
