“Conservative” has become a brand, like Coke or Pepsi . . . and about as meaningful.

One problem is that it fails to take into account conserving jobs, conserving the American identity, conserving America.

Thousands of self-appointed pundits and organizations dole out analysis of the Conservative brand, according to the dictates of their paymasters.

Their chirps are no more significant than:
“Less filling! . . . No! Tastes great!” “Just do it” “Quality never goes out of style” “Shop at Sears.”

Got that right.

Whatever is for limited constitutional government, constitutional state sovereignty and individual freedom, that’s what I am. A lot of “conservatives” seem to go the other way on some of this stuff.

I really don’t like the word “conservative.” It implies keeping the status quo. I hate the status quo wand want to see it blown up.

Your post #453 on “Conservative” reflects very accurate assessment of the situation that is occurring.

You may have that opinion, but tend to be more optimistic and I will continue to keep trying to get the best of the lot elected.

There are no perfect men or women, there was only ONE. We just have to get as close as we can to that MAN's values and principles, for me that is TED CRUZ.....

Go take the test, be honest about how you feel don't try to manipulate it, if you have those deep conservative thoughts your results will come out TED CRUZ, whether you like it or not.

Hey, I took that test, not knowing what the results would be, and hoped that it would not be TRUMP, but I did answer truthfully.

Hey can't deal with Yesterday, I agree we have been sold out by those we hoped would defend us the "conservatives", but think they weren't Conservatives, just Dem cross overs to kill the Republican party from within.

We can't give up on the Republican Party, we can improve it with men like Ted Cruz. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water, work to make the change.
