Keyes has my vote for President in 2004 for now unless and until a more popular conservative declares his candidacy.

What a ringing endorsement for Keyes; you'll be for him until somebody POPULAR comes along? And you have the NERVE to sneer at Bush.

LOL, now that's integrity!

You obviously missed my point entirely. My point in so stating was:

1. Bush, though more popular, is no conservative.
2. Buchanan was much more popular than Keyes when he ran in 1992 and 1996 despite the fact that he was even more conservative than Keyes.
3. I believe that there are actual principled conservatives who are more electable out there who could potentially be elected President.

I find a great deal of hypocrisy to go around. Think about the fact that if money is free speech,and I think it is, and wish President Bush would have vetoed, but what about the existing campaign laws already. There are already limits on hard money (unconstitutional?) restrictions on soft money(unconstitutional?). Everyone is focused on the 60 day period, but think about who is restricted now. Republicans give more hard money now, but this is limited. My free speech is already limited because of what I can give monetarily. Let's keep in mind that Bush is not the one who created this mess, but is trying to do what he thinks will eventually help most and that is to eliminate this whole issue and move on by signing CFR. He also eliminated McCains' only issue.
