This convention was my first. I intend to return.

I concur that the time to remove politicians who stray too much from conservative positions is in the primary. That was one (of several) reasons why the rule amendment was faulty IMO. Like them or not, for the '02 cycle, the GOP is stuck with the elected candidates. The opponents are NOT conservative, by any stretches of imagination.

Oh well, that part is history now. Time to start on the eampaign/election efforts.

PetroniDE, MAF, BIGUN, all:

it was great to see y'all at the convention. I am soooo proud of my state, country, and fellow conservatives when I see us working for a better country; rather than putting blinders on or just whining like some others (esp. non-voters)!

Hope to see you all again soon!

I am glad you enjoyed it. I have been attending since 1982 and still look forward to the next one. The better job we do this election, the more fun the 2004 convention in San Antonio will be. It will not be fun if Sanchez is in the mansion in Austin or Kirk is in on the hill in DC.
