I suppose the "conservative" thing to do is to vote for someone with a proven track record, right? A record which would include higher spending and deficits than ANY of his immediate predecessors and a good many NOT so immediate. A record which includes KNOWINGLY and WILLFULLY signing legislation acknowledged to be UNCONSTITUTIONAL, signing ANY spending bill passed by Congress without even a WHISPER of the word, "veto." A record which includes signing TWO bills which effectively negate several specific articles of the Bill of Rights and whatever sunset clauses there are apply ONLY to the parts of the bill which directly relate to terrorists. The parts which affect the REST of us DO NOT SUNSET. Is this the record YOU'D be willing to run for office on, as a Conservative?

If scare-mongering and arguments such as "but the RATS are worse" or "He's better than __(fill-in-the-blank)__" are all you have, your guy is toast and you KNOW it. As I said in an earlier post, if Bush would make any perceptible movement toward restoring the Constitution, he would lock up my vote and many others, but as it is, he isn't so he won't lock up those votes. And I assure you, they may well be the difference for him. If we do nothing but sit home, he can easily lose. If we vote third party, he can easily lose. Look what happened to his daddy... daddy stabbed gun owners in the back, on TOP OF his "read my lips, no new taxes" lie and, despite having such a glorious victory in Gulf Fracas One, lost handily. When he COULD have won just as handily had he not been such a duplicitous backstabber. And he really didn't do HALF the evil stuff his son has done, IMO.

So you keep on preaching that wishy-washy spiel of yours. Maybe those kindergartners I mentioned will buy it.
