"I spend my Sundays with other freepers and protest warriors counter attacking the code pinkos. . . . I work for the conservative cause."
I'm sure you do, and I would like to thank you for your hard work and devotion to conservatism.
But I would submit to you that opposing the intentional taking of innocent human life is a conservative cause. And standing up for the right to protect oneself from criminals and other aggressors is also a conservative cause. And opposing environmental extremists who impose undue burdens on businesses and who disrespect property rights is a conservative cause as well. But Brian Bilbray does *not* fight for these conservative causes; in fact, he worked *against* the right to life of the innocent unborn, *against* the right to keep and bear arms, and *against* those who believe in property rights and common-sense conservation (as opposed to extremist environmentalism).
You are too good a conservative to be supporting a social liberal such as Brian Bilbray in a district in which 55% of voters cast their votes for President Bush; Bilbray would fight *against* the conservative cause on just about every social issue. If Brian Bilbray ran against Susan Davis in his old congressional district, which is so liberal that it only gave President Bush 38% and in which a true conservative would be unable to win, rest assured that I would support him wholeheartedly, since half a conservative is better than an ultraliberal such as Davis. But we conservatives should not have to compromise in a district that has proven time and time again that it is perfectly comfortable voting for conservative Republicans. I would urge you to keep fighting the good fight and support Kaloogian or Morrow in the 50th CD.
