What you said was closer to being accurate just 6 years ago but many Republicans now buy into the compassion of big government made popular by GWB and glombed onto by Rick Santorum.
Yeah, we have a name for those "conservatives" - RINOS. True conservatives will agree with my position.

That's precisely why I commented. You specified Republicans and many Republicans are not conservative -- even those who call themselves conservative.
And not only the rank and file party member but the politicians themselves. Look at their spending habits and you'd be appalled how much pork they vote for.
I now think that the word 'conservative' is as meaningless as the term 'liberal' was after the left highjacked it.
