Bob,

I too am a conservative. By default that makes me a Republican. I believe in helping the needy - I see Democrats as using the help programs a gifts to a constituency where any discipline in how the gifts are used is an abuse. For instance, the college loans that are defaulted are on are a disgrace. The phoney trade schools that get money are a disgrace. Help the people yes, but punish severly those who rip off all of us in the process.

On Social Security we need to help the needy. We do not need to help the rich. Democrats treat any idea that restricts benefits to anyone as an opportunity to demogouge the issue. An honest discussion - hell no never. Means testing is an absoute necessity to save this program.

The list goes on an on. Help people in need. Make people who do not need help support themselves.

Finally, the well spring of wealth for all of us is the economy. The health of my company directly effects my own well being. Corporate profits are good - not evil. Does anyone, even Pezz, think that if there had not been a Republican congress to moderate this president that we would have a budget surplus.

LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN. DOES ANYONE THINK THAT WITHOUT A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS TO MODERATE THIS PRESIDENT THAT THERE WOULD BE A BUDGET SURPLUS?

So, to what party does one go who believes in fiscal responsibility an applied common sense to problems. I see no alternative. For instance I would consider voting for Bob Kerry or Paul Tsongas. Howevr, you see how far they got in democratic primaries. Tsongas was doing great until he got distracted by the abortion debate.

Enough!

Bob
