BTW, can you name a "perfect" conservative candidate for whom you will vote? That could actually get elected?
One thing I have learned over the years, is that no matter how perfect the conservative may be, once in office he or she will have to work with imperfect people. I got into an argument with a conservative some years back when talking about our federal government. We were arguing about getting the conservative message out. He kept on saying that we - the repubs - were in control of the Congress. I kept saying, if we are in control of the purse strings, how come my taxes still keep going up? With that in mind, there should be no way that the Dems should stop anything Bush wants done. They do it because Repubs are abetting them. So, even the perfect conservative has to deal with turncoats.
