I won't vote for a liberal no matter what party. My vote will go for the conservative and if there isn't one in the race, I don't cast a vote for that office. That's how I did in the last Virginia governor's race. The VAGOP insisted on running a gungrabbing, lifelong NAACP liberal for governor. They pulled a fast one by eliminating the primary and holding a convention instead. I refused to vote for Earley for governor because he's a gungrabbing liberal who instituted Project Exile in Virginia. Quite a few of my neighbors did the same. Earley lost while the GOP picked up 12 more seats in the legislature, so it wasn't a big democrat victory.

Republican koolaid drinkers tell me that I helped elect the democrat and that it's all my fault. Sorry, but I can't see it that way. I didn't vote for the republican because he was a liberal. I surely didn't vote for the democrat. That makes it the fault of the GOP fatboys who bulled their liberal candidate into place over the objections of those who wanted a conservative if blame has to be placed. You can't blame a conservative for not voting for a liberal, can you?

The GOP here in Virginia has control of the legislature. They can't go along with the governor without looking like turncoats, but they surely would have passed Earley's whole gungrabbing, big government agenda into law. Sometinmes the best you can do is to keep the two parties at each other's throats.

Well, I don't care what you do in your own state, that's your business. But when too many people take that attitude at the national level, then we end up with a President Clinton. Drive out Bush (who will be running for reelection in '04, barring an act of God) and we end up with president Gore or, God forbid, President Clinton II. Now it is my business. I do not believe the Republic can survive another Clinton/Gore Whitehouse. This one is do or die (IMHO). I do not see any practical alternative at this point.

Surely yer not saying that Hager was a Conservative, are you? It is rather amazing that a State as conservative as Virginia was unable to come up with a better gubernatorial candidate than either Earley or Hager. At least Kilgore's demonstrating some signs that he may be an Allen-esque Guv'nuh in '05.

So if you were in NC, and your choice was Liddy Dole and a Democrat, you'd not vote at all, knowing that control of the Senate might remain in Democratic hands, and after saying yourself that a Senate seat is "a lifetime job"? And knowing that there are U.S. Supreme Court seats most likely at stake?
