teeman, Your party never had conservatism. Jefferson might be called a "classic liberal" but that's as close as it gets. Don't spend your life wasting good efforts after bad. Make your contributions where they make a difference.
there was a time, maybe for just a week or two, that the ideals of the will of the people ruled this land... when maryland was called the free state, when americans were free to speak their minds, and political correctness was voting for the candidate that acted nobly and behaved humble instead of the other way around.
nowadays, i feel like the horse in animal farm...
