When they say that they won't, under any circumstances, vote for President Bush and/or a Republican, we should all, immediately, remember the Aesop fable about the dog in the manger.
They consider themselves to be the sine qua non of conservatism, the closest things to the embodiments of the FFs. What they all are, however, is the antithesis of Conservatism, so far away from the positions and beliefs of the FFs,as to make one's head spin! I don't like revisionist history,no matter WHO is the author of it; least of all and especially when supposed Conservatives are playing with historical facts.
Some people refuse to accept half a loaf...
That's a good analogy. If Dubya offered even half a loaf, then I not only could, but would, gladly vote for him. The problem is that he only offers a third of a loaf to the Rat's quarter of a loaf. All that I ask of my GOP candidates, is that they be anywhere to the right of center, even if it is only marginal. Dubya's repeated and continuing assaults on the Constitution and his unequaled spending are just two of his many actions that put him well to the left of center and well beyond the realm of acceptability.
I would welcome a half-loafer. In fact, after three years of Dubya's RINO antics, I would cheer a half-loafer.
