If you think there will be a mass conversion to conservatism after driving W from office, you're on drugs.
W wasn't about stopping the slide into socialism. It was about slowing it down and giving conservatives the opportunity to FIND a way to stop it. Do you visit local watering holes and argue with dyed in the wool socilists, especially the older ones who've been through the depression and wars? Try to present the conservative line to them. Get them to vote it. Ain't gonna happen, and trust me in the inner cities and union areas, they are teh ones we have to defeat.

No ... what we should do is band together and force OUR party to do what it is CONSTITUTIONALLY bound to do ... FAITHFULLY EXECUTE the law ... even where democRATS are concerned. We should make it known to OUR party that anything less is UNACCEPTABLE, now or EVER. We should USE the crimes the democRATS committed against them to cement our hold over the government for the next decade, like they did to us after Watergate, instead of acting like Clinton democRATS and ignoring the law.
Your approach will almost guarantee that democRATS win the next several elections because by ignoring the crimes you will be telling the democRATS that they can commit ANY crime and get away with it ... even if Republicans control the investigatory and prosecutorial portions of the Executive Branch. Your approach may even convince Republicans that the only way to win is to commit and coverup crimes themselves. Then where will we be?

I am not suggesting driving W from office. I am only asking that we stop acting like cheerleaders who defend ANY action of the GOP and act like Americans by defending the very document that made this country ... the Constitution. I am asking that we defend the integrity of those institutions, like the judicial and election systems, that separate us from the terrorists and tyrants around the world.

You won't FIND the way by knowingly covering up crimes committed by the bad guys ... especially crimes that threaten the very integrity of the system you CLAIM to respect. You just give them blackmail material to keep you from EVER exposing them for what they are. Ignore these crimes NOW and it will be nothing but mutual assured destruction and continued movement AWAY from the rule of law from NOW ON. Without faith that our laws will apply equally to those who are elected as us, there will be no respect for the law ... and our laws are one of the most important things separating us from tyrants, kings and terrorists.

Exactly ... so all this talk about Bush positioning himself to win their support is NONSENSE, as are the polls now being touted to show his margin of victory. But these socialists do have to obey the law ... unless, of course, we destroy the law by not enforcing it and turn this country into a place like the USSR (which was run by SOCIALISTS and ONE party that decide by its WHIM what laws would and would not be obeyed).
