The fact of the matter is that conservative ideals and principles (as a whole) fared no better (at best) under George Bush than under Bill Clinton. THAT is absolutely intolerable; the Repubs controlled the House, Senate AND Presidency for the first time in 50 years and allowed themselves to become drunk with power.

Why don't you tell us how you really feel??!! Great post. I especially like the comparison and issues rundown. It helps one to remember exactly what government is doing and has done as opposed to merely remembering what they promised. I, too, am fed up with the GOP. I've heard all the arguments that giving the Dems power by sitting out the election is bad because then the Dems will wield power. My response has always been what you've posted about here. If the GOP can show me how the country is different and better under their leadership than the Left's, I'll consider voting for them again. But as long as the GOP is indistinguishable from the Jackasses, what difference does it make how I vote? Thus, I'll sit it out unless and until the GOP puts up a Conservative candidate. You'd think it'd be a no-brainer for them but you'd be wrong! Thanks again for the great post. I think this one will make the Carnival. Blue Collar Muse Jeez Smitty!
