The party has basically said, “Screw you!” to me and to every person who thinks as I do about the border.

About the border, about guns, about government spending, about socialized medicine, about the phoney baloney ethanol fuel, about the ridiculous CAFE, etc. This has been the Republican motto toward true conservatives for decades

Former Republican National Committee Chair, Lee Atwater expressed it bluntly during George H. W. Bush’s reelection campaign when he asked, “Where else are they going to go?”
when referring to gun owners after the senior Bush's sell out. Well they didn't go to him did they?

Ralph Nader is a dedicated socialist, but he is very astute politically. His unsuccessful white house run forced the Democratic party far more to the left that before. If the Republicans lose, we can tolerate another Clinton (after all little Bush has outspent Clinton be wild amounts and has betrayed gun owners with his justice department's amicus brief), but we will never shift to conservatism if the republicans keep offering the (slightly) lesser of two evils and get away with it

Once again I agree. Good comments. I sure wish folks could see it, acknowledge it, accept it, and act on it.
