But what else do you do? When I first came to this thread, I posted to OWK and was lamenting about Voinovich. But, in the election it may come down to Voinovich and Jerry Springer.
I'll hold my nose and vote for Voinovich, but to really solve this problem, the Ohio Republican party is going to have to find someone to run against Voinovich in the primary. That's not going to happen.
But even telescoping the problem down further... where are the conservatives to run for office? Because I will vote for them.
The issue you raise is valid. We, as a nation, are spending our future to pay for today's vote. We aren't learning anything from Europe. Our states are drowning under the burden of illegal immigration.
I'm not going to blame the President for all the ills of the country. (I'm sure you don't either)... but if we are going to change it... it has to be changed at the state grass roots level, with better candidates who will vote conservatively and not have their heads turned by the power that comes with voting the center or left.

This may come to a surprise to a few of you. But as a member of the Constitution Party, this last election, I helped a GOP member run for local office. He was a nice young man who believed in a conservative paltform in his party. Having been away from the GOP since 99, I had forgotten how much the GOP Local has it in for Converatives. They pulled out all the stops, going so far as to have the Chairmen come out to talk to the locals against this young man.
What was his crime in the GOP.. he wanted them to stick to the Constitution and back members that did so.
