I know this: My only vote in 2002 will be for the Governor of Illinois. I will not be voting in any Federal-level Congressional or Senatorial races. I will not be contributing or volunteering for Bush in 2004, and unless he repeals the reauthorization for the Assault Weapons ban, will not be voting for him. If Bush's behavior is your definition of successful constituent loyalty-building, I beg to differ.

Gosh, that's an intelligent approach. If you don't get what you want then pack your bags and leave. Boy will that solve the problem! NOT!

If you don't get what you want then pack your bags and leave.

Say you hired someone to cut your lawn. But instead of doing what you hired him to do, he digs great big holes, tears out your flowerbed, spraypaints his name on the fence, and urinates on the pegonias.

Do you keep him on as your landscaper and pay him his salary plus a big fat tip, or do you fire him and hire someone else?

We 'pay' politicians with out votes. If we keep 'paying' them to do a horrible job, then a horrible job they will do. Why should they change when there are no negative consequences from their 'boss'?

The Republican party's 'front yard' looks like vandals have had at it for years. I think its time they found a new groundskeeper.

What people like Jmj333 don't understand is that a marriage that
is ruined by porn was probably already on it's last legs, and
probably due to far more mundane reasons.

It's called voting with your feet.  Ask George HW Bush
what happens when the base does that.
