Kids who both openly endorsed same-sex marriage, complain that women don’t get “equal pay,” fund-raised for Corey Booker and one who is best friends with Chelsea Clinton are NOT, NOT, NOT conservative. If this is the new “conservatism,” I’m going to need a new word to define the beliefs that I, Ted Cruz and all genuine Tea Party conservatives believe.
Trump is NOT, NOT, NOT a fiscal conservative. Not reforming entitlements programs is not fiscally conservative. Not reforming the tax code to end progressive rates is not fiscally conservative. Supporting giving everyone who doesn’t already have it free health care is not fiscally conservative.
I don’t think a govt should determine what is proper “moral behavior” for me, my family and loved ones, my friends, or my neighbor. You mileage varies, i’m sure.
The Clinton and Obama White House both have women who are disproportionally paid when compared to men in the same positions. So yes, some women do not get “equal pay.” (Why are we putting that in quotation marks?)
I don’t know who Corey Booker is, nor do i care.
Being BFF with a liberal does not define me. Does it define you? True, it’s annoying to be around them for long periods of time, but they don’t rub off on me. And please define “best friends” and who said that descriptive term. You do understand that women use that phrase rather loosely, right? Especially when they have a TV camera in their face. Now, if they’re truly, truly Best Friends, that’s different. I’d be curious to know, actually.
The RINOs have already bastardized the word “conservative.” You can go with “constitutionalists” and probably be good for another 20 years or so. I’m sure they hate that word.
Re: fiscal conservatism... we likely have different definitions of that. I’ve heard Trump say in a roundabout way that entitlements need to be reformed. He says it in the context of how we take care of illegal immigrants a lot better than we take care of our vets. If you’re waiting on him to stand up and loudly call for “cuts in entitlements,” it’s not going to happen. He would never pull enough independents to vote for him, and he’ll need those independents to make up for people like you and CW who will be staying home.
I can’t speak about tax codes. Don’t have a clue on that one.
Everyone already had access to subsidized health care before Obamacare came along, as long as they knew where to look and where to go (a big obstacle for many people). This is not any different than before. Besides, he likes to emphasize that “I won’t let people die in the streets” thing because he’s smart enough to know he needs votes from minorities and other traditionally lower income groups who traditionally have poor access to health care. YOU don’t want people dying in the streets, do you? ;-)
