I have given up on the idea that I will agree with someone, especially a politician, 100% of the time (my husband is lucky if he breaks 50%!)

I have been very disappointed at W. spending habits, not at all alligned with my very fiscally conservative beliefs, but I am happy with the tax cuts. I am not a fan of much of the Patriot Act, but am thrilled to have a pro-life President.

There is certainly a part of me that wants to send a message to the President....Dance with the one that brung you man!!!.... but am I willing to sit on my butt on voting day and risk a Howard Dean or a John Kerry that I agree with 5% of the time (if that!) NO WAY!!

Talk about throwing out the baby with the bathwater! It isn't perfect and I'll kick and scream along the way, but the pleasure of opting out next November is not worth the pain of a liberal in EVERY BELIEF in the White House.

I understand, but as I said, when a moderate becomes concerned, what does that tell you?

No, the choice is between gridlock and Bush, who has been expanding government faster than any President since Lyndon B. Johnson. Gridlock, in many ways, is the superior option.

I can't help but wonder if there are any DU trolls here encouraging conservatives to stay home in November. Hmmmmm........
