Who do you think can beat Bowles?

Jim Parker. But the GOP leadership is decidedly against someone who's not not "one of the boys" if you catch my drift.

Or are you willing to have 2 Democrat Senators from our state? How would that help us?

We're going to have 2 Democratic senators from this state anyway, if Dole is the nominee. WHY do you think this state's mainstream press is fawning over her so?? It's NOT because they support her! Within a month of her winning the primary, the dirt's going to start flying and she's gonna have severe mud on her dress. No way in hell will this state's liberal press give her an easy ride over Bowles.

And please don't tell me that she isn't a Conservative because of past remarks made. People can and do change their philosophy(e.g. her stance on gun control.) I believe if elected she will vote Pres. Bush's agenda and IMHO that's better than a Democratic agenda.

President Bush's agenda is giving more power to the federal government than it ever had under Bill Clinton. Why should I or anyone help them along with it?

You got that right though: Bush and "his people" are far BETTER Democrats, than the Democratic agenda ever designed!

Well I don't know about others on the forum but I certainly consider the following items she supports to be pretty much Conservative ideals.

Making Tax Cuts Permanent
Building a strong and modern military
Strengthening National Defense
missile defense system
fill the federal bench vacancies(more than likely with Pres. Bush's selections)
she signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge promising to oppose all efforts to increase marginal income tax rates for individuals and/or businesses; and any net reduction or elimination of deductions and credits, unless matched dollar for dollar by further reducing tax rates.
will fight for North Carolina jobs and for our working families by cutting taxes, reducing the burden of regulations on business and pursuing strict enforcement of our trade laws.”

The longer the conservative, die-hard Republicans refuse to get off their plantation, the harder it wll be to turn this nation around. They need to WAKE UP! The GOP isn't conservative anymore! They are reverting to being the party of Lincoln again: Lincoln, the Great Centralizer; Radical Republicans.

I guess it just takes conservatives a long time to realize that their party doesn't represent their views anymore. It took decades for conservative Democrats to make themselves get out of the party. A few of them STILL won't admit the truth to themselves.
