In an earlier post, I stated clearly I'm out of the gop only if house,senate vote yes and Bush refuses to veto. This is a sad day for me because ive worked hard for the gop in the past.

And I'm a realist who believes in the 2 party system (or at least realistically sees the folly of smaller fringe parties - they are really interest groups)But this is a fundamental issue for me and many others. It appears the gop thinks it can slip it in why the country is preoccupied.

I think you're politically naive.

This *is* a fundamental issue and I too beleive in the two party system but you paint the GOP with too much of a broad brush. There is nothing different -- pro or con --about the Republican compaired to other parties except that it is the party that contains the most people that stand for freedom. That is why me must work in the primaries to remove those 41 R's who voted for this and we must work in the general elections to support the rest of them.

Hey G.W., you need to veto this or I'll put him in the same bad GOP bin as the other 41 R's.

Is there a rule that says on election day you have to be a big "R" Republican to vote for GOP candidates? Try it you might like it. Perhaps if we can get enough traditionally valued conservatives to re-register without party affiliation the "go along to get along" bunch will get the message. If they don't what have you lost?
