A chump is someone who sells out too cheaply beacuse he believes that what he's got to offer isn't worth too much, when in fact it is. Conservatives always undersell themselves, and from historical paranoia that says everyone will just ignore us again - what can we do? But self-concept is destiny: change the assumption and win.
The POTUS needs to court you, to date you. Make him work for a kiss. Gets more later if it works out.

"Conservatives always undersell themselves"
While I am suspicious of your intentions and everything you've said looks as though you're a plant from the Kerry campaign trying to raise anger against bush from his base, I agree with you on that point.
When Republicans run as "moderates" they LOSE(Ford and Bush 1)... When Republicans run as Conservatives they WIN(Reagan and W.). Notice that Bush's drops in the polls happened when he signed the Prescription drug bill, and when he proposed lax immigration laws. He didn't gain a single vote from either of those things, and they both p-ed off his base. When Bush used this state of the union address to list new spending proposals and loosen immigration laws, his poll numbers went down 5%, which is the opposite of what usuallly happens when a president gives a State of the Union address.
