Some success is better than no success.

That is simply the reality of life.

Clinton was elected by much the same thinking your expressing now, BushI wasn't pure enough.

Our children will be paying for at least the next generation for the damage Clinton did to the country beginning with the WTC.

One of the flakes on the court was nominated by Reagan. Was he not worthy of your vote? He made some other doozies as well...

He also won the cold war.

DB, I have a great deal of respect for you. But I can tell you I've heard all this and argued it from your side before. Yet, all the people who say "compromise to win power" are not there to support the issues important to me. The Republican Party has changed and I don't recognize it. We got tax-cuts and that's great. But the spending has been through the roof -- all because we are "cleverly" trying to steal issues from the Democrats. Heck, other than the tax issue, we are Democrats. And if you keep spending like crazy, taxes are going to have to go back up. No question about it.

I'm actually quite excited about the Constitution Party and following my conscience.

You know, part of my gripe, too, is that even the so-called conservatives in the press have largely caved to the gay agenda. You've got Andrew Sullivan starring at the Washington Times; he's all the rave in the NR blog talk. Jonah Goldberg came out in favor of domestic partnership. Paul Greenberg argued for the constitutional right to sodomy. David Horowitz told Christian conservatives they are bigots (Falwell is a "jackass"), and unless they keep quiet about gay issues when he thinks they should, they ought to just leave the party. He even enlisted measured support from the likes of Ann Coulter and Dennis Preager(sp?). So I'm taking Horowitz's advice. The list of "conservatives" who have caved to gay pressure is surprisingly long.

An aside: It appears my state Constitution Party is no longer functioning. I don't know what's up with that. All this drama and they've already pulled their own plug. Oh well. There must be like-minded people out there somewhere. I'll find 'em.
