Sure there are some conservative reasons not to vote for Bush, but its hard to believe there is any conservative reason to vote for John Kerry. I believe the folks at Powerline said the same exact thing.<br /><br />While he is an avid hunter and "has long gone hunting on the cape"(people hunt on the cape?), and may come across as a rugged-outdoorsy conservative, Im not sure people are buying it. In my lifetime in Massachusetts I've never heard of anyone hunting on the Cape nor have I ever mistaken my senator as a conservative. I bring up that one issue lightly but to some extent i think its indicative of his over all supposed 'conservatism'<br /><br />Conservative groups have much more to lose with kerry than they do with bush. Leave the republican party...no. Become disgruntled republicans... yes. But I also think conservatives tend to be a bit more pragmatic in the face of such things.<br /><br />-Joe SheehanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
