With same answers, by changing my party affiliation or my political views, I was able to change between Conservative Democrat, Disaffected, and Enterpriser. Any “moderation” on my answer led to “Disaffected.” If I’m conservative, or Republican, I’m an “Enterpriser.” Any liberalism or Democrat affiliation, and I’m a “Conservative Democrat.” I have a strongly identify with Conservative Democrat also. These folks were the original "Reagan Democrats" Remember Reagan was a FDR Democrat until the Cold War.

I suspect Sarah Palin may test out as either a Conservative Democrat or Enterpriser. I suspect a "Enterpriser" is closer to Barry Goldwater than to Reagan.

Remember, Reagan was able to bring disaffected FDR Democrats (like himself) into the GOP by appealing to their social conservative roots, something that the libertarian Goldwater could not do.

Conservative Democrats have their roots in Jacksonian democracy.

Well, we better pray they have some respect left for Supreme court rulings, unlike Jackson, since that’s the only branch of government not taken over by the liberals...yet. The democrats today seem to have no respect for the 10th amendment, which Jackson carried too far to appease his handlers.
