You can point to "true" voices of the right because the right seems to have largely reduced itself to two basic types. You have your bible-thumping social conservatives and you have your classic fiscal consersatives who are rapidly abandoning their principles in and effort to stay in power by prentending to be bible-thumping social conservatives.

As to voices, the only truth I've found so far is that the very lowest common demoninator is the party loyalist/staunch supporter. The staunch supporters of either candidate are consistently the dumbest people in the room. Don't believe me? Ask anyone holding a Kerry or Bush sign or wearing a button. Most Kerry nuts are too young to know better or wealthy enough not to give a shit about the tax implications of his presidency. Most Bush supporters think we're in WWIII and that the nation is embroiled in some "battle for its moral soul", whatever that means.
Those with more than basal matabolism taking place in their brains readily admit the only question this November is "Which guy will hurt me less?"
