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.

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.

If the GOP loses, we all lose, just like we did in '92 because of misguided "pseudo-conservative patriots" like you. You people are giving individualism a bad name and you're putting your distorted ideology ahead of country, party, and the rest of us. You still think it's just about you. If big, unlimited government makes you unhappy, then prepare to be unhappy for as long as you live. That's the way it is.
