After all my years in the GOP, it pains me terribly too. As things stand right now, I’m completely with you on this. After all my years in the GOP, it pains me terribly too.

He's fairly conservative on a lot of issues but the most important ones, he and I have a pretty big differences of opinion. He's a lot like Ron Paul if that gives you any idea. There are all kinds of candidates in all kinds of parties and I doubt any one of them is worth consideration. However, there are going to be some down ticket candidates that I need to help stay in office or help replace so I have to vote to help them. I believe it's Alexander who is up for reelection in the Senate. I ain't crazy about him but he's not absolutely terrible either. He's fairly conservative... used to be more... but still not bad.

I have this funny feeling that we need to go through what we're going through now to get back on the right track. However, just because I have that feeling doesn't mean I want to help it along. :sad: I doubt I’d be any happier.

That wing treated him quite shabbily in the 2000 GOP primaries. Now that wing denies (Coulter, et. al.) It may be the distrust is too deep...and too mutual. Then again, Nixon, Reagan and Bush never reallly delivered what the far right wanted either, I mean as a liberal, I survived those years :smile: Not that they didn't intend and try, but the country is basically centrist, a solid object that both left and right bang up against. I noticed on some blog a conservative was lamenting that Thompson, Guiliani, Romney should have been 'men enough' to have Hillary's staying power. Were they still in, you would likely be happier!
