Let's walk carefully here.
Let me say that I have been a Conservative since Richard Nixon's last campaign. I wrote in Ronald Reagan. As I grew a bit older I considered myself more of a Libertarian. Now as I mature further, I have become what I term a Libertarian Conservative.
It galls me that the Republican candidate for President expresses so many ideals of the Democrat party, apparently really considered being John Kerry's running mate and sticks his thumb in the eye of Conservatives every chance he gets.
Don't get me wrong, I will vote for him. But I have started a new wing of the Republican Party. I am what I call a Clothespin Republican. I will vote for him, but I have to hold my nose as I do so.
I am concerned that many, many core Republican voters will not be so forgiving as I am. A clothespin just may not be enough.
