Welcome to the new 'conservative' party. Where to be called conservative you just have to be a shade less liberal than your opponent. Oh, and have a R by your name.

Don't forget the so-called conservatives who add new socialistic federal programs, going beyond the liberalism of their Democratic predecessors.

Phooey!. There's little practical difference between D's and R's, except the Dems head towards Socialism faster. Over time, both will deliver us to the state. Their selfish interests in power and holding a powerful and great paying job with really lucrative benefits and ego boosting TV time make this progression inevitable. And then they pile on laws that make it impossible for the "citizen legislator" to have a chance. Maybe gridlock ain't so bad after all.
