Interesting take on the whole matter.

It is funny how many conservatives are calling the law horrendous.

It reminds you that there are two major wings to the GOP: the libertarian conservatives and the moral majority.

I know how you feel, C.J.
I haven't been fully comfortable with the Republican party for about 12 years. I was a very comfortable Reaganite, but since then the Republicans have not provided the candidates or the ideology that made the 1980's such an era of Republican pride.

I prefer the current Republcian party to the special interest/victim-culture whining of the Democrat party, but the Republicans in recent years have, for me, been the only-slightly-better of two bad alternatives.
I voted Perot in 1992 and 1996(less enthusiastically), and Nader in 2000. Which has often been more of a protest vote, for an alternative in the two major parties.
