The trouble with such blanket statements is that you have no idea who you're talking to. I was a dyed in the wool, rock-ribbed straight-ticket Republican since 1980. I volunteered my time, served in party offices and attended party conventions. I interned in the U.S. Senate for a man whom most of you would consider to be a rightwing conservative. I gave as freely of my money as I did my time. So I take a back-seat to no one in promoting the Republican party. My only fault was that it took 20 years to finally realize what a farce it all was.

As for not being pleased with anyone, I'd be pleased as punch if Alan Keyes, or Howard Phillips, or even Buchanan ever actually got into high office -- but they're not perfect, either -- not by a long shot. (They won't be elected, of course.) I think Ron Paul pretty much walks on water, as did Tom Coburn of Oklahoma's 2nd district. I think Jim Inhofe, one of my current senators, does a pretty fair job. So, the "perfectionist unappeasable" label fails for me also.

In fact, I'd even be moderately satisified if Duh-bya (obviously one of the dumbest men to ever be elected, by the way) even TRIED to do something conservative. When he announced the return of the Mexico City policy, I was pretty surprised -- weak and ineffectual though it was, it was more than I expected for a man who is so wishy-washy on pro-life. But that's about all we'll get out of the guy, I've no doubt.

So direct your bile elsewhere. You've obviously confused me with someone else. And in the meantime, have a nice evening.

I see your credentials and whom you claim to now support. You didn't have an ephiphany on the road to Damascus which enlightened ; it blinded you.

I used to like and admire Ambassador Keyes. Then things started cropping up ( his use of the race card , as an ouy, when it was uncalled for, and his recent attacks on President Bush as eveil, are outrageous ! ) , and I began to pay more attention to him. He isn't even as good at it as Adlai Stevenson was, but he is in the same mold. It's one thing to hear him speak, but when you read his words, one tends to shake ons head in disbelief.

Phillops is a waste of air and irrelivant.

Buchannan is worse. He sold out and stands for nothing.

By all means, admire and support whom you care to; however, know that not only will they NEVER win ( and you saint with clay feet, Ron Paul is a coward and a fraud. He takes the money and runs under the GOP bannar, but is a Libertarian, who can't get elected as one. He even voted AGAINST the tax cut ! ) and election, they haven't the knowledge, nor the abiity to govern. Don't believe me ? Look at what Pat did ( thank GOD ) to the Reform Party. Look at whom he chose as a running mate. Look at whom he played ball with ( a known Commie , feminist, RACISTS ! ) just so that he could get the Fed money. Oh, and where did that campaign money go ? Into his sister's and nephew's pockets.

My political credentionals are as thorough ( actually more so, but I shan't divulge them ) and them some, as your's. I've also been invilved for a longer time. I've also been HERE for a longer time. So, YOU have NO idea to whom you are talking, dear.

At your age, you should uderstand that fringers have NO consiquence , except as spoilers. Of a buch of gullible, ill educated people hadn't been seduced by a fruit cake, Clinton would have lost in '92.

In the political arena, cutting off your nose to spite your face is perilous.
