James, I just read your piece at lewrockwell.com and I couldn't agree with you more.
Unfortunately, the term 'conservative' has been co-opted by the neo-GOP to mean 'social conservative'. Bush is conservative because he opposes abortion and gay marriage - forget about the 26% increase in domestic discretionary spending.
I can't bring myself to vote for John Kerry but I don't think the world would end if he were elected. Divided government and gridlock would suit me just fine. The Republican Congress might find a back bone and block Kerry's ambitious social agenda and George W. Bush would, justly, be denied a second term that he most certainly does not deserve.
