As a conservative's conservative who does vote in the United States
You are unique. If truly a conservative, you're among a handful I've
witnessed with the ability (and propensity) to be self deprecating.
I honestly thought you were left of center based on your (very
entertaining) posts and thought awareness of self was an exclusively
left thing.
Clearly, I was wrong.
Unless you're yanking our rodes.

No, I'm a conservative, but apparently not a 21st Century Republican
Conservative. I voted for Bush the last time out. It was difficult for
me because I didn';t trust him much and I didn't think he was overly
smart. I would have preferred McCain. I have a lot of problems with
the way Bush has turned out, especially in his budget-busting and in
his foreign policy but he also makes me nervous with his expanion of
police powers. No true conservative wants to see police powers
expanded in the kind of democracy we have had until now. Frankly I
just don't trust Bush.
I don't know what I will do this fall. Hold my nose and vote for Bush
or not vote for president or, gasp, vote for the democrat, if he turns
out to be a reasonable middle of the road type? I wish a true thinking
conservative would enter the races, but Bush surely has the GOP
nomination.
Maybe we need viable third and fourth parties.
