Conservatives Don't Waste Your Votes on Republicans

Upon any review of GOP betrayals of the "Contract with America" principles that catapulted the party to its majority status in Congress in 1994, a predictable pattern of responses emerge from loyal Republicans. Shoulders and backs stiffen, chins drops slightly to tilt heads forward, brows furrow and nostrils flare and soon some brilliant jewel of political debate like, "So, you want Kerry to be president," bursts forth like jelly out of an improperly eaten doughnut. Such presumption suggests that only Democrat voters criticize Republicans and that the GOP is beyond the analysis of anyone else. It is also reflective of an arrogant political perspective that only Democrats and Republicans are entitled to contemplate the machanisms of government and politics. .. Consider that if the millions of voters who vote for alternative parties are added to those who are not even inspired to cast a ballot then Republican and Democrat candidates would sink to a distant second and third place in most elections.
