Oh, I know, Pat. As a conservative it has gotten increasingly difficult to watch Dubya in action. He has betrayed so much of our core platform.

In my opinion, he's betrayed it all. Aggressive warfare isn't a conservative value and never was. It runs counter to everything the founders wanted for America, and runs counter to those of the old right who opposed America's worst fascist, Franklin Roosevelt, before he plunged America into World War Two. Roosevelt forced their silence during that time, but we genuine conservatives won't be silent now and never again.
One of my favorite people,
James Bovard, an author with one of the finest minds in America, whose prose skewered
Clinton and his supporters many times, has now written several books doing the same to the Bush'ists. You might take a look at them.

Looking at the alternatives offered by our effectively closed two party system is cause for even greater concern, however. I wonder if we will ever again be offered a choice that does not boil down to the lesser of two evils.

We may not be offered such a choice in our lifetimes, that argues strongly to each of us to be loyal, not to men and a party, but to principles, morals, and ethics; and demanding that politicians do the same.
