The Person or the Party?

As you march to the polling station today (You are marching, right?  I mean, this is war.), consider, if you've not done so before, voting a straight ticket.  (Republican, of course.)  Why?  Well, you might read Dennis Prager's piece at NationalReviewOnline for a few very good reasons.

Let me add one more.

William F. Buckley, Jr. once articulated an axiom that went something like this:  If an institution is not intentionally, deliberately, and steadfastly conservative, it will, invariably, become liberal in its orientation.  If the congress we elect today does not go to Washington with an unambiguously conservative mandate, it will govern in a liberal fashion.  If you choose to vote Republican here and Democrat there, because, well, you know, that Democrat's a solid fellow after all, you will not thereby elect a reasonable congress, you will instead ensure a liberal one.

Remember that today when you mark your ballot.
