You cannot reason with the purists. I saw the same reaction of the purists to Reagan. There is no candidate on God's earth that can satisfy the "my way or the hiway" faction of the right. That also goes for the same faction on the left.

Well, the scary thing is that I'm one of the most my-way-or-the-highway-type people I know of! There are a lot of elements in the Bush White House--some good, some bad. I honestly think that Rove is one of the ones more on our side.

That's not true. I voted for Howard Phillips. If the Republicans ran an honest conservative candidate, I'd vote for him. I voted for several local Republicans, because they are genuine conservatives.

A candidate doesn't have to be perfect to get my support, but he at least has to be on our side. Any honest look at Bush shows he is implementing the liberal agenda on virtually every major issue. If he was a Democrat, you guys would be raking him over the coals for his record - and deservedly so, but because he CALLS himself a Republic, you give him a free-pass, just like the Republicans in Congress are doing.
