He never had it. You probably voted for a no name third partier in 2000. Your disingenuousness is very tansparent.
You speak much nonsense and make fictitious self-serving assumptions about people. I voted Bush once but I will not vote Bush again. Nothing transparent about it. Bush isn't a conservative and I'm personally getting tired of the "lesser of evils" argument. Evil is evil and voting for either Evil A or Evil B runs contrary to my principles and values. People who want to jump off a cliff for party loyalty are very foolish.
