I must be a flaming liberal then. I always felt I was a conservative. But from the way these people talk, I guess not! I agree with a lot, if not most of what I thought were conservative ideals, but these people keep carping that if they could find a 'true' conservative, they would abandon Bush. Well that's fine, they don't have to support him, but if that's the way they feel, why did they ever support him at all?

Some claim they did, enthusiastically support him, then they act as if they made a 180 degree turn, over one or two issues. I've never seen anyone who truly knew where a candidate was on the issues, turn on them so completely.

Just how conservative is a 'true' conservative? What are they, extreme conservatives? If they are, I'm glad I'm not with them. A so-called 'true' conservative would not get elected too easily. They would have to actually win over a lot of people of different 'stripes', to actually get a thing done. Even B. Clinton wouldn't have been able to win if he ran as a 'pure' liberal. So he went to the middle, appears somewhat moderate, wins, and went straight back to the left.

The reality is that their brand of "conservative" has never, in the history of this country been elected. Don't let them get you down they are the eternally Pi##ed off that can only be happy when sniping from the sidelines.
