Sorry that I didn't flesh out my entire viewpoint on the issue for you from the very beginning, but I'm not writing a monograph each time I post. What's interesting is that I actually state an agreement with you and you're
still pissed off. I can see that any mention of taxes is some sort of trigger that just results in an emotional response, so I'll avoid continuing damage to your blood pressure by not talking about it further.
The definition of what "a conservative" does or does not believe isn't your call. I doubt any two people on FR would come up with the same set of positions for "a conservative" to have. But if you want, hurl some insults like RINO (I'm not registered as a Republican so that wouldn't fit anyway) my way if it'll make you feel better.
Now you're being condescending and patronizing. I never was mad. If anybody's mad it's you. You can think anything you want. And .. if you're not registered as a repub, why would I even think you're a conservative. The only reason people don't register as repub is because they don't agree with the "conservative" message. You can admit it. It doesn't matter to me.
Our conversation is over.
