Proselytizing the church of Paul in the land of Liberals.
I hope you don't really expect much success.
There are a few conservatives on this forum, but they're much to smart to drink that kool-aid.
Funny, I thought you wanted to stop the Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act, HR 1955, and the Iraq War.
The only ones drinking koolaid are the Elite in Both Parties.
You comments always make me laugh. I have been called a liberal, left wing, hippie for years. I could never swallow the koolaid the elites were passing out, though. It was obvious they didn't stand for much in their own lives. They would change positions on issues with the political winds. I have never voted for a Dem or Repub in any Presidential Election.
I always complained about Reagan's corruption, Iran/Contra, and Deficit Spending despite being a self proclaimed "small govt" guy. Thought it was the worst move ever to take the Solar Panels off the White House. And always thought he should have been impeached over Iran/Contra.
I laughed at Bush's foibles with "no new taxes".
Clinton did some good things, but always thought it was Perot's push for a balanced budget that got both parties to actually do it by the end of his Presidency (despite knowing that they could only show it on paper because of the theft of our SS money). Always thought the Waco and Elian Gonzales incidents were terrible acts by an overpowerful Central Govt. The Oklahoma Bombing was always just as sketchy as 9/11, IMHO. And Clinton did the same as Bush and took the first steps toward the Patriot Act with his Terrorism and Espionage Act in 1996.
And then Bush II came. I began visiting POAC around the time the war started as I began accumulating ammunition for my discussions with my parents (staunch Party first Repubs since as long as I can remember). Bush's crimes on the war, our rights, and Deficit Spending have dwarfed all previous Presidents. Not to mention both Dem and Repub congresses that have been part and parcel of the deterioration of our Country for 30 years.
We have been moving in the direction of Bigger Govt (Domestic and Military) for years now, with Both Parties at the helm. I have seen the degredation of our Economy, the destruction of our Interventionist Foreign Policies, and the steady Infringement of our Rights at home.
I have been looking for an Honest politician for years now. I have found one that consistently VOTES to protect our rights, reign in our Interventionist Foreign policy, and Balance our out of control budget. If you have another option that is as moderate and common sense as he, I would be willing to research him or her.
