p> NOT FRIENDS OF HILL br> Re: W. James Antle III's Republicans for Clinton? : /p>

Suggesting that conservatives vote for Hillary Clinton is the same league as those you justify Mussolini because he made the trains run on time and Hitler because he built those nice autobahns. It's the absolute absence of morality and morality should be the quality above all others that defines the conservative viewpoint -- without morality and moral courage and conviction, conservatives are nothing, there is no point to going to all the trouble of deciding between what is right and what is wrong. Liberalism is far easier to practice than conservatism because it does not require real morality, all that matters is getting along and feeling comfortable. That is easy to do but it also means that liberalism is often empty and without any real meaning. The absence of morality certainly defines the Clintons -- not even their friends ever pretended that they were honest and selfless.

p>If conservatives think that a colossal, self serving fake like Hillary Clinton deserves their vote then they really should be changing their calling and taking up a less demanding one -- one that doesn't involve convictions and self pride and self respect. Being able to look at yourself in the mirror and not feel like a gutless, flip flopping wimp should be much more important to a conservative than voting for a Hillary who was all in favor of invading Iraq when it was easy to do that and has now changed her mind and her story for exactly the same reason. br> -- Christopher Holland br> Canberra, Australia /p>

So, let me get this straight, Mr. Bartlett would have me support Hillary or Barack because they can win and abandon Rudy or Fred or Mitt because they can't win. Abandon my core beliefs in order to what? Get along with the "new" Democrat majority. Has the estimable Mr. Bartlett inhaled what Bubba chose not to?

By abandoning the Republican candidates he abandons the party and instead of demonstrating some integrity, some backbone, some cojones he would have us roll over like a puppies and bare our underbelly to be eviscerated. Can there be any doubt that following the lead of summer soldiers like Mr. Bartlett will only ensure the election of a Democrat president and legislature with the subsequent results. Hillary unchecked, what a great idea! Repressive taxes, socialized medicine, surrender, criminalization of dissent (they've started already it's called the "fairness doctrine"), terrorists being read their rights after they've killed in the name of Allah…Gee sounds great Bruce!!

p>I ain't no ways tired...count me still in the fight!
