Let me put it in stark relief: You're supporting Bill Clinton because he's a Republican. The policies are the same, the words are the same, the only thing different is the stuffed shirt from which it arises. You opposed one, justly, with every fibre of your being because it was wrong in principle, not just wrong in party, but support it now? Give me a break. As for me being a Libertarian, I'm very conservative, and it was Bush Sr.'s broken promise that caused me to realize just how shallow "Republican principles" really are...rather than opt out of voting, I voted Libertarian. Ron Paul would get my vote if he were in my district.
You got it half right. I agree with your characterization of our RINO President, but why punish an entire party for the misdeeds of one man in coopting 80% of the Clinton agenda?? You will never further the conservative agenda by voting third party except in selective instances as a protest vote as you should do with Bush, not with your Republican Senators and Representatives many of whom are good conservatives.

This I actually agree with...my Congresscritters are Schumer, Clinton, and Houghton.
None of them are worth the spit I just ejaculated when typing their names here, Houghton more typically votes with the other two scalawags than not from the House side.
Worse, in this particular state, you're more likely to have a liberal, former democrat, run on the Republican ticket with Republican GOP support than a conservative anywhere.
