Given the reality that I know at least half a dozen people who would instantly abandon the Republican party to a mode ‘True Conservative’ party - I agree there is opportunity!

But here is the problem:

One of my friends view’s “True Conservatives” as taking a black/white stand on ending the drug-war. Another views “True” as defending “Traditional Marriage”, while another disagrees and demands that “Marriage” be completely and utterly eliminated from all Government Documents. (etc, etc)

And on the Small Government / Fiscal front...

I will not vote for anyone who is unwilling to end Foreign Aid, reduce our out-of-control Department-of-Offense / DHS which spends a Trillion+ dollars a year to ‘attempt’ to protect us from everyone we piss-off by getting into their business all the time!

But many of my friends (and yes, we get along) wouldn’t consider any party as even remotely “Conservative” if they didn’t Increase our alliance with Israel and strengthen our commitment to Military spending and “projection of power”...

So my question to Sara is “Which definition of ‘True Conservative’ is she talking about?
