It's a variation of tough love I suppose.

No, it's more of a "do-it-my-my-way-or-I'll-screw-it-up-for-everybody" attitude typical of many so-called conservatives. You are not being unique; you are being a stereotype.

I don't compromise my principles for anybody. I vote and support candidates based on how closely they support my beliefs, not because they happen to belong to the same political party as I do. If I blindly support somebody that does not share my beliefs simply because of party affiliation, then I'm no better than a democrat.

I will evaluate President Bush and his actions over the next ten months or so; if he and his administration stray further to the center(left) then I'm sure I won't be the only Conservative and Republican who stays home or votes 3rd party.

If he loses in 2004 because myself and others stayed home or voted for others (I highly doubt he will lose, the democrats are working very hard to insure they lose well before the elections), then maybe the GOP will evaluate where it came from and where its going, and why it has lost people along the way.
