Say what you want but I have been a conservative for many years as my posting history will show. In 2008, I supported Duncan Hunter and in 2012, I supported Rick Santorum.
So you have a long history of voting for losers, who never had a chance, nor would have made a good president.
Lots of liberals call themselves conservative, whether transparently liberal or crypto-liberal. Such a thing is not new. If Jeb Bush calls himself a “practicing conservative”, does that make him conservative? or Mitt Romney calling himself a “severe conservative”?
You named two RINOs there.
