Are they really conservatives on do they just claim to be one. I'm not staying home in November and Bush/Cheny get my vote. I just hope those socialist liberals only vote once like I do and that people in their graves aren't voting. Don't laugh it happens.

This is rather like the phenomenon of those who call in to C-SPAN, and identify themselves as "Republican" then proceed to bash everything to the right of Jim Jeffords. Which is quite a lot.

These people are ringers, and would not be identified as true conservatives after five minutes of conversation with them face to face. This is much like John Kerry professing to admire "conservative" values, and upholding "traditional" beliefs, before he launches into a furious attack on both "Conservative" and "Traditional".

"Chief political adviser Karl Rove's formula for re-election is primarily to push Bush's conservative base to the polls."

If that's true, the conservative base had better bring their ancestors along like the liberal base does.
