AS much as we would all like to think that we conservatives are in the majority, it ain't that simple. On particular issues some folks that you would think should be conservative aren't. For example, the "social conservatives" would probably cover a large number of practising Catholics. How many of them are going to vote for Bush if the Rats are busy punding away on the "scary right wing"? John Kerry is the classic "statesman" and frankly so was Clinton, they all want to get along and find consensus. There is something known as cutting your nose off to spite your face. Statesmen don't win wars...in fact they usually get us into them at too late a date ( think Chamberlin)
That would leave out all democrats that come to mind, and most republicans, sadly enough. I know many catholics, and other varities of christian sects, and I don't readily affix the title of social conservative because of church affiliation.
Most "social liberals" are such due to media disinformation. Many christians lean left for the same reasons.
Most american families are social conservatives, and vote democrat out of ignorance.
I believe you and I differ vastly on the definition of statesman. I'm talking colonial American type statesman.
