If we have reached the point where BOTH parties are acting as one to install socialism then our enemy is BOTH parties. I think we are in that "heap of trouble" you refer to in your last reply. I just don't have faith in the republican party ever providing anything but a RINO for national office as long as voters are willing to pull that "r" lever no matter what.
Had we elected Gore in 2000 instead of Bush, it might very well have strengthened the resolve of the conservative movement to the point of actually providing a "conservative" candidate for which to vote in 2004. In addition, there is no way that the conservatives in congress would have allowed Gore to push through even half of what Bush has already signed into law. Jim, you know how much I despised the Clintons in particular, and the democrats in general. Gore was and still is a total idiot but he would have done wonders for swelling the conservative ranks.
