Except it's not true, it's just another lie you guys tell each other.
The truth is you voted solidly for Big Government & free stuff under Wilson, under FDR and even for the Illinois socialist Adlai Stevenson.
You only stopped voting Democrat when you finally figured out who was going to pay and who was going to benefit.
Then, suddenly big government didn't look so sweet and now you became conservatives.
Nothing wrong with that, better late than never and welcome to the more conservative party.
Just don't give us a load of cr*p about how you were always the real conservatives, because you just weren't.
Apparently not on the whole getting a life thing.
