"Mitch is ok on this issue but he's a porker on others."
Better a porker than someone who wholesales my rights. I agree with Laz on this; Ronald Reagan would not be elected today. But my reasoning may differ. He would not be elected today, not because he couldn't, but because the RNC doesn't have the testicular fortitude to run a REAL conservative anymore.

Look I'm not happy either but I'm not throwing in the towel on a Quixotic crusade because I'm pissed. My favorite Pubbie is DeLay...big suprise right....followed by Helms....but neither could run for President. Folks like me and probably you too are only maybe 20 percent of the voters and we're narrowly demographically defined. We have to win what we can and fight the long fight. We're fighting a political war that started after the Articles of Confederation ....then Andy Jackson....then Abe....then Wilson...then FDR.....then LBJ....and now. It's battle against the Federalizers and entitlements crowd....we have lost for the most part over the past 200 years so we are going to have to take what we can or have a revolution and we lack the popular support to win that...right now. Gun confisction might be the catalyst.
Hang in there.
