I dont view Republicans and conservative as the same thing...or even close. As for Alinsky, the GOP has usd that play book against conservatives only a little less than the liberals have.

I hear Sean Hannity say he’s not a Republican he’s a registered Conservative. Is it possible to register as a Conservative instead of as an independent? Or does it depend on the state?

".....the GOP has usd that play book against conservatives only a little less than the liberals have."

The GOP and Democrat party act in concert to thwart a real return to Conservatism because like the players on Wall Street (to which they are both closely tied) predictability of the outcome is more important than the outcome itself.

The wants and needs of the Citizens are subordinate to the certainty of their cushy jobs and trust fund accounts.

I think Rush misses this point often. Because he disses the Independents often. I’m an Independent but want nothing to do with the GOPe and am a solid conservative. I don’t have trouble making up my mind on issues, nor am I swayed by bumper stickers and rhetoric. Yet he puts me into that undecided category often. I think there is a huge difference in being a Republican and being a conservative. Perhaps that explains why I voted for an obscure Democrat, who’s name I can’t even remember, in the last election rather than casting a vote for Lindsey Graham. There is a difference. The Tea Party is the only refuge for the likes of me.
