Actualy, no.

I don't advocate party. I do realize however that a bunch of one-issue spoiled children think they and their issue is so important, in fact the only important issue in Amercia, that they are willing to help elect a liberal if they don't get their way on one small segment of their overall issue.

Then they could lose all gun rights.... and cry that it was Republican's fault!

I do realize however that a bunch of one-issue spoiled children think they and their issue is so important, in fact the only important issue in Amercia, that they are willing to help elect a liberal if they don't get their way on one small segment of their overall issue.

I suspect most folks on this thread have a scale of sorts. Let me elaborate on mine:

GOOD: Foreign policy, tax cut, PBA ban, overall decorum

BAD: CFR, Prescription Drug Bill, higher government spending

Every time an item is added to one of those lists it impacts my view of this administration. So in theory one issue could tip the balance in either direction.

This bogeyman folks like yourself continue to trot out (electing a liberal) simply doesn't fly with the more principled conservatives. I refuse to be complicit in policy that hurts my family. Period. I will only vote for candidates that have a net benefit. Now, to date I think Bush has exerted a positive force on our nation. But he hasn't accrued so much goodwill that it cannot be undone by a few foolish policy decisions of the sort proposed here.
