Well, I won't say that my style of conservatism has ever been particularly popular, but it is principled, and I think that matters more.

Euphemism these days for 'true conservative' and 'collaborates with leftists to make a point.'
Also means 'voted for john kerry because the President isn't pure enough in his views.'
