Welcome to FreeRepublic.
You may not have noticed, since there was a complete black out, including by the so-called "conservative" talkers, but there were 4 real conservatives that stepped forward and got stepped on!
Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, Alan Keyes and Sam Brownback (altho an OBL guy) were in the presidential race. Don't feel bad if you were unaware since the GOP/DNC/RNC/Enemedia cabal refused to whisper their names.
The probable answer is that a substantial segment of the electorate is shifting from conservative values to moderate values.
I’m glad to see there’s at least one Conservative on this board. I thought this was a Conservative Forum, but the more I read the more I cant believe. Putting aside the fact the Joe Lieberman is almost as Liberal as John Kerry, look how weak he looked in the VP debate against Cheney. He got is a** kicked.
