Believe me, I share your frustration. And it's too bad that we Republicans are in a war with eachother, the left wing accomodationists vs. the right wing hardliners. It's a battle for the heart and soul of the California Republican Party -- a party that was doing well here (Reagan, Dukmejian) until the RINO Pete Wilson got into office and governed just like a dem, boosting everybody's taxes almost immediately and getting along famously with the democrats.

At that point, the voters realized that the Republican Party stood for nothing and went right back to voting democrat. Now, our state party is run by the likes of Gerald Parsky and conservatives are wondering in the wilderness while Rove does everything possible to make sure the CRP looks indistinguishable from the CDP.

Like many other hardliners, I can compromise, as I did when I saw that Keyes had no shot at the nomination and I shifted my support to 2nd best, which was Bush. But there are limits. At least, for me there are. Again, it's nothing personal.

Well said.
