Cogito, ergo conservatus...(I think, therefore I am conservative.)

Lousy Latin...but you get the point.

The fact is that while people profess to being conservative they don’t live that life at all for the most part.

They vote for people like themselves, liars and frauds.

If 60% are conservative, we need to ask them how it is that they think President Ponzi, the most liberal senator, is such a good choice for them.

The polling obviously doesn’t take into account the fact that if a person identifies himself/herself as a dem, regardless of their conservative or liberal “leanings”, they will most likely blindly “pull the lever for the dem” who is running.

The critical fact, completely ignored by almost everyone, was that in answering Question D3, which asked the respondent what he considered his ideology to be, sixty percent of the American people described themselves as "conservative" or "very conservative." In every single Battleground Poll, conservatives vastly outnumbered not only liberals, but moderates and undecided respondents combined.

Thanks neverdem. It's encouraging of course, but lots of people consider themselves conservative overall, but have one or two views that are not conservative (or at least, such that other self-assessed conservatives don't see as conservative). That's why conservativism gets its ass handed to it in election after election.
