Integrity and principle coupled together, should yield conservative results for someone claiming to be a conservative.
He spends more money than democrats, and openly advocates socialist legislation.
Hmmmm...
You are either naive or simply choose to deny the facts.
Being a 'conservative' is not a lock-step, koolaid drinking kind of thing. It represents a spectrum of views (as has been stated previously).
The people in this country tend toward a centrist view. An extreme conservative isn't going to get re-elected, you know.
If you think your particular 'conservative principles' are the ones which will win the hearts of the American people, go for it. Find a candidate that will run on them or run yourself.
