Most conservatives are Socialist also.. since (SSA)Social Security is PURE SOCIALISM.. not kind of like socialism but abject PURE socialism.. and conservatives are FOR Social Security..
There's no argument from me on that one. SS was a New Deal left wing creation. Conservatives are stuck with it now. Best we can do is try to reform it with private accounts like Bush tried to do and create an ownership society.
That is what Rudy would try to do also. First, we have to get past the liberal cry of "waaahhh, the stock market is risky" and "conservatives want to risk your grandmothers' livelihood on the stock market". Of course, if the Dow or the S&P are worth less 10, 20, 30 years from now than they are today (which has never happened even over a 5 year period), than we have bigger problems...like who can elbow who on the soup line to get to the front.
