His truck is a Chevy. His beer is Bud Light. His savior is Jesus Christ.

I guess if you're a Jew who drives a Subaru and drinks Sam Adams you can't be a conservative. And all this time I thought it had to do with a political philosophy.

"I guess if you're a Jew who drives a Subaru and drinks Sam Adams you can't be a conservative. And all this time I thought it had to do with a political philosophy."

I agree. But what's always interesting is the urban conservative, esp. a northeastern urban conservative is a lot different than your average red stater.

I hear you...Nothing against Mr. Stein but why does the media always focus on the truck driving, beer drinking, country living conservatives? (there is NOTHING wrong with these..its how I grew up!) There are lots of us in cities who prefer wine and our only ride is a yellow cab! I think the main-stream press would rather cut off their right arm then admit there might be a conservative living in one "their" liberal meccas (LA, NYC, San Fran, Boston)

Damn right we're conservative!

What I find amazing is that people on both sides of the political aisle fully believe the stereotypes of their ideological opponents. In fact there are great many Dems who own guns and hunt, are socially conservative, and go to church regularly.

I'm a conservative, Bush-loving Republican, and I own a few guns. But I'm also a tree-hugging, non-religious (but not an atheist), union member. People can have many interests that are supposedly the province of their ideological opps. But even persons who fit the lib stereotype like Stein are most certainly far more complex than libs imagine. Libs constantly underestimate conservatives by falsely believing that anyone who doesn't toe the lib ideological line is one hundred percent their stereotyped image of the unintelligent conservative . As long as they keep doing this, we will have the advantage.
