There is a conservative movement and these are the people who are the majority in America
Not quite
Keep dreaming.
America is majority conservative. That is not an opinion that is a fact.
"The November 2004 Battleground Poll shows that sixty percent of Americans consider themselves either "very conservative" or "somewhat conservative," while only thirty-three percent consider themselves "very liberal" or "somewhat liberal."

"America is majority conservative." Maybe so. But the US Senate isn't.

It's hard to believe those figures when majority of adults (thankfully not everyone votes) aren't even republican. Most americans aren't liberal, but sadly they aren't conservative at least by our standards.

All that really shows though is that we've succeeded in making "liberal" a dirty word.
A lot of people who consider themselves mainstream of moderately conservative are what would have been called liberal in any historical perspective.

Don't forget that the Demmycrats were successful in 2004. They exceeded all their estimates for turn out that they calculated was necessary to win the election. The fact that the McGoo...err McCain bots refuse to acknowledge is that is was Cultural Conservatives that turned out in record numbers to put Bush over the top.
I actually heard a North Eastern Country Club talking head on Fox news this morning trying to claim that Bush needs to play to the moderates and that it was his appeal to "Moderates" in 2004 that put him over the top!
PLEASE!!!!
