Interesting. But it means conservatives are extremely impotent.

Not necessarily. Fear of losing votes could make even the most left-wing politician cave into conservative policy. And vice versa.

What it means is that everything is relative. I know extremely liberal people who think they are conservative if only because they know people who are even more liberal than they are.

Some people think conservative means you shouldn’t have more than four illegitimate children for the government to support.

I don’t think it even means that. A conservative is someone who thinks you should be able to keep 25% of your income in New Jersey, Massachussetts, New York, or Illinois. A liberal in those states thinks you should keep nothing, as it wasn’t yours, and you only got it because you exploited the system.

I think it means conservatives don't vote until they get upset. 1994 was a classic case in point, as the rats had just passed the biggest tax hike in history along with (naturally - - the two go hand in hand) an assault on the Second Amendment, even as they were bouncing "House Bank" checks like a racquetball court.

If the rats can just keep being themselves for another 15 months the Republicans should be back in business.
