My point was that by voting for a third party, which at the Presidential level doesn't have a chance in Hades to win, you are essentially giving a free vote to the Hillary's of the world.

You may be, but you have to look at the other side. Who killed the Reagan revolution? Who did the most damage to the conservative cause - George Bush or Bill Clinton? My answer is George Bush. He told the people we don't care what you vote for, we will do as we please. He destroyed the faith people had in Republicans to do the right thing. He told conservatives you will vote Republican and take the crumbs we give you and if you don't like it, you can lump it, you have nowhere to go.

Well I for one have a little more pride in myself to serve as a lackey for someone like that. I therefore stayed home. And guess what, in just 2 years the Republicans were back roaring and would have changed the political landscape of this country if it had not been that Newt Gingrich betrayed them for a little sex on the side.

GWB is not his father. GHWB was born and raised in the northeast and probably never would have been elected had he not been Reagan's VP. GWB on the other hand does have true convictions and IMHO we have seen the true GWB on the items he has mandated without having to get congressional approval.

Kyoto, ICC, the declaring an unborn fetus a person, no $ for abortion clinics for foreign countries, calling the 3 the "Axis of Evil", NEVER meeting even once with Arafat, recess appointments of conservatives that couldn't get a hearing.

Unlike a lot of people, I refuse to judge the man by what his father was or wasn't.
