Sorry.

I’m a conservative FIRST, not a repub party hack.

The party doesn’t mean JACK, if it’s not also conservative.

Well, it’s not an absolute. The GOP is more conservative than the democrats, for example.

Chances are there would be no mainstream political party that would make me completeley happy. It’s silly to deride those that acknowledge that the GOP is better than the dems as some kind of ‘party hack.’

Also have the clarity to realize that the conservative agenda doesn’t have a mandate on all issues. If the electorate isn’t buying all of what we are selling, that’s no reason to go completely out of business. We just sell them what they want to buy, and try to win the3 debate on the other stuff and develop consensus.

I used to listen to Rush religiously during the Clinton reign of terror and enjoyed him immensely, then another voice of reason appeared on my radar that was more vocal about the grave threat of terrorism, the culturally erosive homosexual agenda, the illegal alien disaster in the making, and the two-party Mutt and Jeff game they got going in D.C., and that was Michael Savage.

You so called conservatives make me SICK with your RIGHTIOUS. you are selling out the USA with your actions but you don't care - it is because your CANDIDATE didn't win. My candidate didn't win either!!

To you, you want the party to be CONSERVATIVE - I want the PARTY to be FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE and SOCIALLY LIBERTARIAN!

Well said, Fish. "Conservatism" isn't judged by who is where on a linear ideological spectrum at a particular point in history.

Faith, culture, tradition, ancestral ties, and institutions are far more powerful than the politics of the day or any ideology.
