Eighteen posts of bitchin', following an entire article of bitchin'. Not one solution (other than electing a Democrat for president), and not one viable candidate thus far to be seen.

The idea here is that if we bitch loud enough maybe GWB will wake up and realize that our votes are not locked in. If our bitching causes him to change course, then I'll be able to vote for him. Someone in the White House has made a bad assumption that conservatives will vote for GWB because he is the lesser of two evils. I won't.

GWB knows that every time he panders to the left he will lose a small number of votes on the right. He thinks the number is very small, and if we keep quiet he'll never know the truth.

I want GWB to know that I always vote, and if I don't vote for him, I WILL vote for the opposition. In this way conservatives can "cancel" the votes of the few liberals GWB may win with his pandering.

If anyone in the White House is reading this, maybe you should re-calculate your numbers with this in mind.

Those "few" votes you are threatening to use to cost the GOP the elections will be replaced from somewhere.

Tell me, if you are looking to increase your voting base, where do you go get new voters from?

The GOP is trying to pull in centrist and undecided voters. They are trying to pull in strong family, Christians in Hispanics, and trying to make a dent into the DNC black voter base by attracting the more moderate and centrist voters.

It isn't pandering, it's political reality.

And by the way, no "conservative" ever sees helping elect liberals as a solution to anything.
