Jay Nordlinger is done, done and way done (HT: Allah) with fiscal conservatives who, as usual, want the perfect candidate (scroll WAY) down:

[...] I’ll get a million letters saying, “George W. Bush isn’t a conservative! His spending, waaaa, his steel tariffs, waaaa. Gee, it’s not even worth voting in November! Or maybe I’m voting for Kerry, because at least a Republican Congress with a Democratic president . . .”

And so to save money and ensure the purity of their small government conservatism they’d elect to gridlock the nation’s legislative process, screwing the economy, screwing Iraq, and screwing what we did in the war on terror? It reminds me of the “neo-Stalinist goons” that Michael J. Totten wrote about, and how they value purity over results. Or maybe like the contractarian libertarian Randbots that can not, for any reason, justify pre-emption. Or like Andy Sullivan who complains ad nauseam over Bush’s drunk-sailor spending in order to diversify his loathing for the current president on the basis of the current state of his not being able to tie his jollies in a knot with someone else.

Maybe they find the singularity of my rationale for my desired outcome for this election just as hard as to understand as I do the pluarility of their reasons to which they have sold off the judgment between right and wrong. But that’s just me.
