The Reagan administration and 1994 have proved conservatism works.

You know, I would like to believe that as much as the next person. But the truth is, many of the same people who are frustrated with the President today were frustrated with President Reagan then. And President Reagan won MOSTLY because he was blessed with Jimmy Carter and what's his face Mondale as opponents.

The other side of the coin is that we won congress because people where upset with President Clinton, not because they were so excited about Newt Gingrich. And we lost later because President Clinton was blessed with Bob Dole as an opponent.

The dirty little secret of politics is that you ALWAYS vote for the lesser of two evils. Always. If you are voting FOR someone, you will always be let down, disappointed and disillusioned. It is the nature of politics and frankly was intended to be that way by the founders of this country.

I understand you must make sacrifices. However I draw the line at voting for people who won't even advance the conservative agenda. The current leadership is moving us towards liberalism. I'd accept standing still or slightly moving to the right, but I cannot accept always moving to the left. In fact I'd rather the US went communist tomorrow, than slowly over the next 30, because I could steal an AR15 and take some commie SOBs down with me.

That's really true, isn't it.
