Even if Bush hasn't been 100 percent pure conservative since his inauguration, that's no reason not to support conservative candidates in the 2002 election. Many solid, true-blue conservatives are running, and they deserve our votes. Refusing to vote, as a sort of "take that, George Bush," is just cutting off your nose to spite your face. Having more
real conservatives in the House and Senate - to hold Dubya's feet to the fire - is what we need.
I implore all to vote in November. Bush isn't running, his policies are not on the ballot - but the future direction of this country, the appointment of constitution-loving judges, and victory over terrorism are.
Oh yes, and support Jay Wolfe, candidate for Senate in West Virginia, with your money and vote.
I will vote for the straight Republican ticket save once office on Nov. 5. However, many conservatives who do not follow politics will not bother to cast a ballot. This will allow Democrat gains. That was what happened in 1974, 1982, 1990, and 1998.
