Memo to Disappointed, Frustrated, Angry & Disgruntled Conservatives:

We had a number of UN-conservative candidates and now have an UN-conservative first pick. He's not 70% conservative as you put it. He's solidly conservative on one (1) subject.

Our candidates are UN-conservative because we have held our noses and pulled the lever at the promptings of the politically calculated, win-at-any-cost compromisers in the past.

Now, if we hold our noses AGAIN, we will be electing someone like Hillary in 8 years just to keep someone who is an all-out, unabashed totalitarian communist out of office.

Slowing the leftward march is no longer enough for us. We who are tired of compromising the country by listening to political expedience are fed up. We are tired of being accused of doing something wrong because we refuse to become a little more liberal every election cycle.

And just like all the other scoldings from those who see political calculation over principle as the truest goal of the Republican Party, as though you think you are being mature among us children, you haven't even addressed the real concerns we have. You just tell us YOUR reasoning and insult us for not compromising to accomplish your idea of maturity.

Read my blogs and you'll know what, at least my reasons for sitting out are.

I am ABSOlUTELY unsatisfied with McCain. BUT the facts are these:

1) The American Conservative Union rates McCain as voting pro-conservative more than 70% of the time, so those are not MY statistics, they're the ACU's.

2) The 30% IS of grave concern... but Hillary rates in SINGLE DIGITS on the same scale. Those who compare the two are doing so EMOTIONALLY and not INTELLECTUALLY. We don't have a full glass offering... so it's drink a half glass or go thirsty.

3)Sitting out GETS US HILLARY or OBAMA. There are 3 Supreme Court Justices just waiting to retire. You wanna give the option of replacing them to one of them? Can you imagine 3 more Ruth Bader Ginsburgs?

4) Once again, it is not violating conservative principles to DENY the presidency to the greater evil.

5) Please, express your anger toward the GOP leadership!

6)Please, remember that the President only PROPOSES. CONGRESS disposes! No president can accomplish ANYTHING if Congress is opposed and holds a 2/3 majority. THAT must be our focus. There will not be a true conservative in the white house. Let's acknowledge that, elect the least objectionable of the available options, an install a veto-proof conservative congress!
