In many ways I believe the neo-cons to be more culpable than any for the present political evils in this country. They present themselves as pro-life and pro-family, but they do little of substance on either front. And there is no end to their wars and the lining of their own pockets. Furthermore, I do not know how anyone can call themselves a conservative and support neo-con politicians who spend money like there is no tomorrow and who want top-down education regulations like "no child left behind." What happened to the days when conservatives wanted to axe the Department of Education? True conservatives still do. Real conservatism is a love for the small, the local, the traditional, and the culturally venerable. Folks who are infatuated with the Republican party are conservative in name only.<br /><br />I appreciate your thoughts here.Ochlophobist https://www.blogger.com/profile/13751003558600087713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25740524.post-71393261371496369012006-10-24T01:18:00.000-04:002006-10-24T01:18:00.000-04:00Anonymous,

If there are none I can in conscience vote for then I will not vote. If you wish to blame me then fine. But it strikes me as odd that you do not question the Republican leadership which has lost its soul as to why people like me can no longer vote for them. Please explain to me why the Republican Party deserves my support beyond the fact that they are not Democrats. Dragging out the boogey man of Nancy Pelosi does not impress me. Abortion aside I don’t see a major difference between her and Denny Hastert. <br /><br />A/OJohn (Ad Orientem)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14329907942477160166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25740524.post-80838081575222508972006-10-23T12:36:00.000-04:002006-10-23T12:36:00.000-04:00Nancy Pelosi thanks you for your vote for her to b...Nancy Pelosi thanks you for your vote for her to be Speaker of the House.
