There seem to be a lot of "Living Document Conservatives" around when the Constitution gets in their way.

They run with the Big Government Conservatives and have dinner alot with the Amnesty for Illegals Conservatives.

I just refer to them as cheap political whores, or RINOS for short.

"There seem to be a lot of "Living Document Conservatives" around when the Constitution gets in their way."

I generally refer to them as: "Conservatives of Convenience". They're "conservative" insofar as the label suits their needs and doesn't interfere with their agenda. The moment Big Guv is willing to give them something or do something they like, all that silly "conservatism" goes out the window and is labeled "unrealistic ideology". That's when they magically transform into the saviors of the day: pragmatists.

Pragmatist - a 10-letter word for one who abandons his or her principles when they become inconvenient.
