The answer isn't to put anti-American, anti-soldier democrats in office....it is to put more conservative republicans in office.
That's ideally how it should be. But when said anti-American anti-soldier quasi-socialist Democrats are being opposed by "Democrats Lite," it doesn't really inspire a lot of enthusiasm.
I really think a case can be made that we may be better off with a split government, because then at least the President may utilize the veto pen. He seems to be afraid to do it as long as Republicans are in charge of Congress.
Plus, the weakened GOP would have to go back to its roots if it lost power, because it would have to give people a reason to give them power back.
That's the problem.
I can't seem to find any.
My local Repub congressman, who as a county commissioner was very conservative and very rational, inexplicably tacked leftward as soon as he was elected to Congress in 2004.
He voted against ANWR oil exploration, and he voted against the Patriot Act, and he continues to make overtures to the left loonies.
He told the local newspaper that he is trying to reach out to other voters, or some such baloney.
What do I do? Continue to support him.
If a more conservative Democrat came along, should I vote for him or her?
The only politician from my state I still like and trust is Sen. Rick Santorum (sure there are others in other states), and I plan to volunteer what I can for him this election.
Other than that, I am totally disgusted by Pres. Bush's immigration stance, which I consider to be a bigger threat to America than terrorism.
After all, the terrorists will never defeat us, but a continued flood of illegal third worlders CAN and WILL do great harm to the American public by diluting our resolve to stand strong.
That is why I have such a hard time when deciding whether or not to vote for a Republican who will leave the borders open, or a Democrat who will ..... well, who knows what they would do.
That is the dilemma.
