Frustrated conservatives

Via Medley, this article by conservative Bob Barr venting the frustrations of many longtime conservatives, who feel betrayed by Bush on the fronts of fiscal responsibility, real security, and civil liberties.

Bush's problem is that true conservatives remember their history. They recall that in recent years when the nation enjoyed the fruits of actual conservative fiscal and security policies, a Democrat occupied the White House and Congress was controlled by a Republican majority that actually fought for a substantive conservative agenda.

History's a troublesome thing for presidents. Even though most voters don't take much of a historical perspective into the voting booth with them, true conservatives do.

Hmmm. Who's the Libertarian candidate again?

Wow. This could be very telling, come election day...
