If we elect TRUE conservatives who shut down most of the business strangling agencies,regulations and programs (IRS, EPA, Obamacare, etc), business WOULD come back here. We have the greatest country in the world. Its just been suffocating under the burden of socialism for 25 years.
Creek, I hope you don't mind that I pinged you ... boxlunch, is that how you define "conservatives" -- those who want to see those agencies shut down? What about the libertarians who have always wanted to see those agencies shut down -- are they conservatives, too?
Cripplecreek, do YOU think that's a good definition of "conservative"?
Or is "conservative" like Rick Santorum, very much anti-abortion and "pro-family," but who, in shutting down Planned Parenthood, instead of allowing taxpayers to keep their own money instead of fund Planned Paranthood, Santorum stated that he'd redirect those taxpayer dollars into adoption-promoting programs. Is that what "conservative" is?
A huge number of Americans don't consider themselves "conservative" but support "conservative" causes. Pro gun rights - is that conservative? How do I tell my very liberal but very pro-2nd Amendment friend he's conservative? Anti-abortion and anti gay agenda -- is that conservative? If so, how do I tell my liberal Democrat friends who hate abortion and the gay agenda, that they're "conservative"?
For "conservatives" to try to take the mantle and insist that it's their way or the highway ... they're sabotaging themselves out of vanity, IMO.
