[George W. Bush]

Heck, I doubt that you could get a majority ofAmericans to support the Constitution as written today if it appeared on the ballot. Most would trade five pounds of freedom for an ounce of security and have many times.

It's too easy to be cynical. Liberty is still a great cause for us as Republicans. We just need to pick our fights more carefully. Look at our success with CCW. We need to move forward with other issues for liberty lovers.

In spite of the truth in what you say, I doubt very much you would get a majority of Republicans to agree that Lincoln was a dictator.

Well, only the ones that know anything about history.

It is kind of relevant, given the personal nature of the current GOP frontrunner.

As well as the current President who signed both the Patriot Act and McCain-Feingold, I might add. I supported Bush because I thought he was the best we could do given the political reality of the time, and I support Giuliani for the same reason.

If a candidate emerges who can both win and move us forward instead of backward in terms of advancing limited government, I'll be there. But I believe voting is a strategic act, and voting for a loser is as counterproductive on our side as the idiots who voted for Nader andcost Gore the presidency on the other side. Electability is the first test.
