Not when they show exactly what I see.

How many conservatives are in the Senate? House? And by conservative I do not mean anyone who is not a raving liberal.

"And by conservative I do not mean anyone who is not a raving liberal."

Thanks for making my point. The vast majority of representatives are not raving liberals. They might be liberal on many issues, but the Sheila Jackson Lee's of the House and Senate are far outnumbered by moderates. Contrary to the new popular definition, the term "moderate" more closely resembles conservatives than it resembles "liberal". That is why the Democrats are trying to hijack the word in order to try an establish themselves as more mainstream.

Along the same lines, I do not use "conservative" to define just people that are strictly far-right on all issues. If you were to ask all Americans of voting age how they were to feel on issues that effect themselves in their daily routines, I am under the opinion that the vast majority would answer somewhere to the right of center. They might feel that "people have the right to do one thing or another but they, themselves would make the conservative (or right of center) choice.

Again, just my opinion based on my own observation.
