The answers are out there. They're all over this forum and they're all over the threads that I ran all last year.
If you were really a conservative, a Republican and/or a Virginian, you'd already know these things.
I'm conservative on a number of issues; probably not uniformly across the board, because no one who really pays attention to issues feels exactly the same about everything. Whether one agrees with Warner on policies (and I don't recall saying if I did), it's rather silly to take him to task for not being a native southerner.
As I said, I've only been in Virginia 25 years, so I'm still considered new here.
And if you were a Virginian, you would know we do not have registration by party in this commonwealth. :)
