With this latest unconcionable betrayal of the Republican Party and the US Constitution... Bush has completely and finally lost my vote. Keyes has my vote for President in 2004 for now unless and until a more popular conservative declares his candidacy.

Home for the modern conservative movement, remains the Republican Party and not the Libertarian Party, the Constitution Party, or the Reform Party candidate. And besides, Alan Keyes will never win a general election. Keyes would do far worse then Barry Goldwater did in 1964!

If you've already given up on Bush, after a mere 14 months in office, I doubt you actually supported his candidacy at all. Fair and reasonable minded conservatives, like myself, are asking for a united front in support of President Bush and his agenda, we do not ask for unanimity on every issue. It serves no good purpose to draw a line in the sand on every issue. Such rigid thinking is counter productive and is nothing more then reactionary absolutism.

I have a question. First off let me start by saying that Ronald Reagan was one of the greatest presidents ever, but by selecting Sandra Day O'Conner as supreme court judge did he violate his oath to protect the constitution? She is pro choice and thus I think most on this forum would agree she's not protecting unborn thus against life which is a part of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Was not the focus of this supreme court selection to have a woman supreme court justice? Was the constitution violated because of this selection? This is not sarcasm,but a serious question to consider. We don't always have to agree with the coaches decision (President), but we need to put some things behind us for the good of the team, especially when they are good decent men like Reagan and Bush.

Your words are meaningless. "The Republican Party is the home of conservatism" nonsensical with just a shallow observation.

Essentially, what you've done is forgive every Clinton scandal had he had an "R" tacked on to the end of his moniker instead of a "D".

I don't believe that, and only an unprincipled liberal could. Don't give us any crap about not being able to move away from the Republican Party because there isn't another game in town. That argument is Stalinist in nature and certainly turns people off from voting altogether rather than force them to choose between Lenin and Stalin at the voting booth.

After y'all have been betrayed hard enough, often enough, come Vote Libertarian.

May be Bush has betrayed you, but he hasn't betrayed the Republican Party, or the Constitution. You may find some Freepers who will agree with you, but most conservative-republicans don't see it your way.

Actually, I was one of Bush's most outspoken cheerleaders during the election fiasco with Algore's attempts to usurp the Presidency. I protested in front of the Supreme Court on decision day when the militant Commie-lib union thugs numbered over three times larger than the Bush crowd. I wanted so badly to like Bush and support him, but I have become fed up with his betrayal of conservatives to which he hinted to during the campaign in which he continually took his conservative supporters for granted. I am lifelong diehard Republican activist and have no plans to leave the party now or ever for that matter. I believe retaking control of the GOP from its current Liberal Republican Establishment leadership which Bush, with this latest betrayal, has come to represent is the best hope for conservatives to effect policy in this country and return America to being a Godly nation.

Its high time you and other so-called "conservatives" realize that Bush's agenda is anything but a conservative one, but rather is not appreciably better than Clinton's big government agenda with which it is 80% identical. It is due to your refusal and the refusal of other willfully blind Bush backers to oppose Bush and draw a line in the sand on any issue that we have lost so big on this one issue which will effect the course of the country so massively and permanently to the left. I really believe that you and people who think like you would sooner follow Bush over a cliff than take a stand for preserving the Republican Party as a viable party and our God-given Constitution which alone makes us free.
