Conservative president

Is there anyone out there who wants help campaigning for a conservative presidential candidate? Considering what a mess we're in now, I figure we need to start working before year's end and keep working until November, '08 if we want a truly conservative president - the first in 20 years. Yeah, it's been good having a hawk for commander-in-chief, but his domestic policy (if he can really be said to have one) almost seems left of Clinton's. For example:

No Child Left Behind - more spending, no vouchers. Key word: "left."

Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit - hundreds of billions of dollars for a wasteful program that nobody really wanted anyway. Conservatives take heed: hate any government proposal that has the word "benefit" in it.

Steel tariffs and trade protection for wasteful domestic sugar producers - c'mon, even Clinton was a free trader!

Continuing and starting politically-motivated prosecutions (or was that persecutions?) of Microsoft and Martha Stewart - even though Gates and Stewart are liberals (and probably will be for life now), these despicable show trials were frontal assaults on the freedom of the market and private property rights, just like

Eminent domain abuses - okay, so they aren't exactly a Bush policy, but he hasn't really taken the lead in stopping them, either. And in fact, his newly confirmed appointment to the Supreme Court also has a history of supporting government infringements of private property rights.

Pork - yeah, congress did it, but he could have vetoed it, and he didn't.

And last but not least, supporting illegal immigration - this is probably the most infuriating of all. There is overwhelming support in this country for enforcing immigration laws. Though hard, it's the right thing to do to make our country safe. It would sharply decrease the percentage of immigrants who would join violent gangs or even terrorist cells. It would decrease the amount of government handouts (because illegals in leftist states often join welfare rolls and get government-paid healthcare). And it's made easier by patriotic volunteers like the Minutemen of the Minuteman Project - whom Bush slanderously labeled "vigilantes."

All of these acts are the acts of a leftist - someone with contempt for the ideals of small government (read: "freedom"), private property rights, and national security.

So, does anyone know a conservative presidential candidate who's going to need backing?
