Maybe because she wasn’t a conservative.

Conservative must mean something else in German.

The classic definition is resistant to change, not what we call it now.

Do you think she was a Conservative?

I never saw her that way.

It seemed to me she sold her nation out to insane immigration
there, just like our leaders are doing here.

Conservatives try to protect an orderly sane process.

Leftists just don’t give a darn. Bring ‘em in. We need
them so bad. As if...

"Conservative must mean something else in German."

no it does not. American "conservative" Republicans are just as cowardly and useless as German "conservative" Republican.

I would say the majority of Republicans now he's the word "conservative" because it's associated with a band of lying, bribe taking, socialist who lied their way into the Republican Party and make a fat living off siding with leftist Democrats. The people that have been screwing with the base are the ones that most loudly proclaim themselves to be conservative.

She’s originally from East Germany.
No way would I ever describe her as conservative.

I’ve seen some people defend her, so I didn’t take it as
out of the question you might see her differently than I
did.

Just because I disagree with people, it doesn’t mean they
couldn’t have been thinking of some things she did that
may mitigate the question to a certain extent.

I’m glad we do agree. Appreciate the mention.

I submit that Romney doesn’t know how to spell the word, “Integrity” nor does he have an inkling of what it means. Same applies to “Guts”, “Honor” and “Decency”.
