You sound like a confused individual, who's not sure of their ideological stance.
"People like you"? Do you subscribe to the mission of Free Republic (read it on the main page). If not, then you're not a conservative, and should not have answered 'yes' to the Gallup poll.
If the conservative movement is made up only of those who subscribe to Free Republic;s manifesto, then it is a small movement indeed. And it seems you have missed the point I made once again. You claim a large conservative plurality based on the 40% self identification in the Gallup Poll. My point is that many people self identify as conservatives who DO NOT subscribe to all the tenets of Free Republic’s manifesto. That 40% number is,I believe,accurate, but not in any way descriptive of a singular solid political or social movement.Here’s a thought to consider. In November I will vote for any candidate who appears on the GOP ballot line for POTUS. I will do that without any hesitation. Can you say the same?
