"I wonder if republicans will want conservatives to join in the Frist defense?"

I love that.

It's the rant du jour of the lunatic fringe. Suggesting that Republicans are not conservatives.

Here's the deal cy: While all conservatives are not Republicans, all Republicans are conservatives.

"While all conservatives are not Republicans, all Republicans are conservatives."

Thanks for the reminder. When I see things like an explosion in public education spending, bigger farms subsidies, and campaign finance "reform," it's easy to forget that all Republicans are conservatives.

"... all Republicans are conservatives"?

Oh Luis, I don't think you really mean that, do you? Well perhaps you do, as there seems to be as many different definitions of conservative as their are conservatives in the first place.

Therein lies perhaps the greatest conundrum the GOP has ... self definition.
