"So we become a little more liberal - so what? We can also become more conservative too as time goes bye"

Hmmm, In other words, you want to be "democrat lite" and engage in duplicity, lies and deceit? Is being unprincipled acceptable to you? What about integrity?

Obscene spending, entitlements, pay raises, but, only on a slightly smaller scale than dems?

Win at any costs? Be a little bit pregnant?
Are you saying that if someone has an R after their name
you will defend them even if their position is indefensible?
If you really mean what you wrote, how do you differ from the clintons, their apologists and the dems in general?

Would you really become more conservative if you achieved power? I think not Not if you start out with your premise.

Remember this truth: Organizations which are formed to protect individuals will forget their founding principles when push comes to shove, which is to say, the institution's survival becomes more important than the individuals.

I know this is not a perfect world, but, I do demand personal integrity in the people I support and I will hold them accountable for their policies.

Bottom line, either we are principled or we're not. The problem with your position is that your party would do piece meal what the dems would do in one fell swoop. I say the "piece meal" approach is much more dangerous.

Can anyonedefend this admin or either house as being conservative in view of their domestic policies since they've been in power?

You may commence your flames if you are so inclined.

Flames? No. Just a difference of opinion.

You pick a stand and stick with it no matter what changes, who is running, what needs are found, what opportunities present themselves.

Me? I declare the freedom to change my mind as I grow, as I see needs, as I judge the runners, as I notice opportunities. I am not stuck in one mindset.

Corruption? Lies? Fraud? No. Not me. Those are options I do not allow in my leaders.

Yet, I realize that we will never get back to the founding fathers starting place. Life does not go backward. We cannot return to our high school days and demand that the whole world return to those days and we cannot control the thoughts and views of all Americans and forbid them to change their minds, to forego any improvements, any revisions to our government they feel is necessary.

Time does not stand still. Government - like life - evolves. It does not go back to an earlier time and require that there be no change in the future.

You work for the change in the direction you want - but you and each of us are the voice of one view - not the elite dictator that tells everyone else what they can and cannot believe, work toward and change.

No need to go into my personal wishes for our country - but Republican, conservative or whatever - I still have the right to agree or disagree with the government and work to change its direction - as does each and every American no matter how I feel about it.
