Yep, you got it. Now if only the GOP can get it.

I disagree with your comment.
There are tons of people even here on FR that don't really want a conservative. Many of them don't really want a smaller gov't, which is the cornerstone of the conservative movement. Oh, they say they want a smaller gov't, but they still like the prescription meds programs for seniors and more social security bennies, they want gov't to outlaw everything that bugs them, from smokers to people driving while talking on cell phones, etc., etc.
So, my point is, there aren't very many true conservatives left out there. One of the reasons that Bush won is because he's not that conservative. If the GOP fields a true conservative then he won't even carry the GOP base.
