I would say yes to the question. It’s a rare bird who doesn’t have a pet exemption or tax credit that they want preserved. Cut everyone’s pork except mine. A good example is ethanol. Most midwest farmers are conservative - until you start talking about doing away with ethanol exemptions and credits at which point they start squealing like those hogs they used to raise before ethanol became so profitable. There are plenty more examples. Pick your favorite :)

We still have quite a few here who participate in what I call "Free Republic Dancing with the Stars" featuring:

the “Cutting Waste and Fraud Will Solve The Problem Two-Step”

the “Get Rid of Every Government Program Except The One That Benefits ME Tango”

the “Tax The Snot Out Of My Grandkids, But Keep My Check Coming Waltz”

the "But I Paid In, and They Promised Me! Cha-Cha-Cha"

and that evergreen favorite, the “Kick The Can Down The Alley Until After I’m Dead Fox Trot"!

And that's here on this hard core conservative forum. So among the public at large, yes, conservatives are a minority, and not a particularly large one.
