Can you see that emotions are running high here? All of a sudden Krauthammer isn’t a conservative because he sees a weakness in Palin! (Some folk might want to recall that only Jesus Christ was perfect.)

Pure unmitigated hyperbole.

If you had been paying attention to Krauthammer and his positions on the issues you would realize he is only partially conservative. He is wrong on the moral issues, very weak.

Objectively, to be considered a complete conservative, you need to be conservative in fiscal, military, AND social issues.

Barry Goldwater was short on item three, and so is Krauthammer. Libertarians for the most part are, and they are well represented on this forum.

I don’t agree. There are many conservatives who don’t toe the line on your definition of moral issues.

Many are fiscal and security conservatives but are not what you want as a moral conservative.
