As "conservatives," I believe we discuss ideas. As "Republicans", I believe we discuss strategies.
As "conservatives" we can admire some of Zell Miller's ideas. As "Republicans," we support Olympia Snowe.
I say we are conservatives first and foremost, and as conservatives, we lean hard toward the GOP as the vehicle for change. If a better vehicle comes along, we recalibrate.
Just one guy's opinion.
well said.
if this forum became the latter it would lose all interest for me. i am much more interested in ideas than politics.
