November Elections

The present day Republican Party has posed as a moral leader and has acted like a moral idiot. Will I, a conservative, vote for them?
Not a chance.

 People who want Power want one thing: Power. Nothing else. We have to have elected leaders. However, to expect ethical behavior from any figure of power in D.C. at the present time is a dream. The GOP gave us a war that will go on for at least 7 years ( Army: troops in Iraq at present levels until at least 2010), this war is of very doubtful outcome, and it was started on lies (remember: Hans Blix had been in Iraq for months and was saying that there were no WMDs.).

This GOP gave us debates on how we should torture. Now our elected officials sweep into view and we imagine them as clerics and acting like Monty Python's The Spanish Inquisition. Do not for one minute think there is no connection bewteen the glorification of violence and power and greed in our society and the presence of torture and school shootings and unjust wars. Do not think that our contempt for the poor and have-nots and homeless and our distinctly unChristian neglect of them does not lead us further into a narcissistic paganism. Do not for one minute think that they are not connected. They are. I ask myself, "WWAD?". What Would the Amish Do? I'll vote accordingly.

I think I voted for Nader in 2004.
