Government of the Lesser Evil

I recieved an email from a friend, which got me thinking about how my last post may be perceived.  First let me start by saying that I am in no way completely satisfied with the Bush administration, or the Republican leaders we have had lately.  (See my Who is page).  Following the 2000 election, we had a Republican President, with a Republican controlled congress.  But we never saw the sweeping reform we conservatives expected.  Okay, 9-11 may have sidelined some plans, War on Terror redefined priorities, I understand that.  And all the way up to the 06 elections, the Repubs in office pretty much let their party down.  I get that.  So I am angry with my party as well.

My point is just that.  We, the conservative movement in America, have sat by for too long.  We have allowed a leadership of the lesser evil to govern us.  Instead of demanding our conservative values, we have voted against the threatening radical liberalism.  So we settle for something less.  06 was ripe for change, and we let it happen.  But America as a whole has lost.  Look at the Congressional approval rating.  Lower than Bush.  They lied to get power, and continue to lie to us.  And nothing changes.

As for my reference to Tofu-Farting Tree Huggers, you Liberals are defined by the images that are so promenant.  I remind you that the Code Pink idiots protesting in Berkley, the City Council of San Fransico, The Code Pink protests in congress, outside of the VA hospitals, they belong to your party.  I see them all the time on TV and in the news.  I call em like I see em.
