So we can't be just conservatives?...We have to be "neocons" or "right-wing nuts" or the "religious right". But never just conservatives.

No there is a difference, however I just do not meet too many plain "conservatives."

And you think a plain "conservative" would somehow differ from "mean ol' me"?

Yes, they would strongly differ. True conservatives would never support a President who supports such "big government" as W. A president who has absolutely no problem throwing money into a big black economic hole, called Iraq.

You show in the above statement that you know very little about me then. Because I'm not a big fan of the Bush administration, although I do believe that his administration has done good things. But I also am not going to go around and accuse him of ludicrous things, like liberals.

BTW. Tax cuts = greater revenue, as proven by Reagan. That is how you pay for a war.

But hey I'm not going to disagree with you much here. He has not been a very conservative president.

Well you support the administration nonetheless, and is my assumption correct that you voted for him? Therefore that means you support him.

Well it's not like your party gave us any option. A man who lives off of his rich wives...What? We were supposed to vote for him?

No I voted for Bush because I had relatively no qualms during his first term. But lately he has been upsetting me a great deal. With the border control issues and of course the INSANE nomination of Harriet Miers...

Ok, you mean like tax cuts for business, and then the businessmen help fund some covert operations using their business acumen, and some international "trade". So that's how Reagan saved so much money!

Oh but wait, the deficit grew under Reagan ($208 billion in 1983 fiscal year from $79 billion in the 1981 fiscal year)...now I am all confused.

Ok these numbers are from early in his administration. Who was President before him? Thank you...

Yeah, he proved that when he left us with an unprecedented growth of debt during his presidency.

Abso-****ing-lutely, sweets. You really don't seem to know what a real conservative is. Those running the Republican party at the moment aren't true conservatives. Evangelical fundamentalists are not true conservatives. Extremists such as yourself are not true conservatives, they're "neocons"; a term that was coined with the rise of Reagan Republicanism.

Well I definitely associate myself with Reagan and his government philosophy.

Then you're a neocon, not a conservative. A conservative is someone like Olympia Snowe, not Ronald Reagan.

but I grew tired of the BS fest, so I went towards the grey happy confines of the middle ground...I may have been a registered Repub, but I never thought like one or had the same beliefs (I am very open minded on most issues...except Network TV programming & lame US music trends, Then I am a total snob.)
