My Promise for the Next Four Years
It's about accountablity
I'm sanguine that there will be proposals and efforts by the GOP and President that I can rallly behind in the next four years. Social Security reform is top among them. Kerry's plan to fund the looming deficits in the trust fund were unrealistic by any calculation and Bush's plan has promise, but is costly. So, I'm hopeful and looking forward to issues that can help bridge the divide.
If you're sitting at home today and in dispair about things like the Supreme Court, abortion rights, gay marriage and such, don't dispair, even with the margins in the Senate, the GOP can't steam roll over you on these issues. But if you are truly concerned about these issues or others it is very important that you stay engaged. In fact it is probably more important that you stay active now than during the election. If you want to protect the right to choice, committ to staying informed on the court nominees and for pete's sake committ to donate money to your cause. Same thing on Patriot Act issues, gay marriage and other libertarian ideals. The battle didn't end last night, it's just begun.

Maybe. I think currently I'm a man without a party. I consider myself a classic republican favoring (as I repeat ad nauseum) that fiscal prudence, government accountability and socail liberalism is the way to go. The GOP appears to be moving toward something different, Theorcracic Socialism if you will. But in this coke and pepsi political world, the libertarian party just doesn't seem to have enough traction to be a real force. And thier candidate Badernak, was a real wignut. At this point I don't know what I plan on doing. I'll support the Main Street Repubican Caucus, John McCain, Hagel, Snowe, Guilliani and other moderates. I'll oppose what I think is wrong, I'll support what I think is right and I'll refuse to surrender my religion and political ideals to a bunch of wolves in sheeps clothing.
We still have a voice, through Elephant on the Edge, our representatives our activism and our contributions to just causes. Don't surrender.
