Nonsense. Just because someone disagrees with you, or sees a different strategy doesn't make them non-conservative. Sorry.
There's never been a conservative nominee that's as conservative as I am. I doubt that there ever will be. Reagan was a fairly liberal Republican but I voted for him anyway. I'm glad I did.
Whatever, the ONLY thing they had going for them is that they supported Bush and voted GOP. There was NOTHING conservative about them.
