Those numbers are not reflective of conservatism at all. Which means you should be THRILLED!
I’m pretty sure not a single conservative on this message board was ok with the spending bill.
I can guarantee I don’t vote for a liberal. If a conservative is on the ballot as a D or an R I’m voting that way.
And yet this is attempting to change the topic...would you vote Trump out in the primary?
Ummmm. I don't think it works that way anymore.
If he has a Republican opponent, I'll decide then who I think is the better representative for the general election.
Solid point. I love this sort of thing from you.
Spending bills originate in the House. I didn’t vote for Liz Cheney in the primary in 2016. This time, she has no opponent in the primary. I’m stuck.
Maybe I’ll write you in. Protest vote!
Thinking for yourself is an unknown concept to Toon. He still requires daily living instructions from his parents.
I don’t think I have ever told you this, but I want you to know you are far and away my favorite poster on this board.
This is your best post in a long time. While you don’t use the word Republican there is no escaping that Republicans are in charge. But Republicans have not been conservative for a very long time. Your title should have used Republicans instead of Conservatives and it would have been more accurate.
Every Republican that created those numbers ran as a conservative. Like I said, this is conservatism in practice. All the hypothetical ideas are just talk, this is real world conservatism, enacted by real world conservatives.
You are a true gentleman. And a good judge of character!
Just saw an interview with Joe Lieberman on FOX. He looked great and my God it was refreshing to hear a genuine JFK liberal boldly say the trend toward socialism is a terrible idea. I would e voted for him in a second if he had ever been nominated.
Excellent point. It is well taken. I don’t necessarily agree, but there is no doubt those Republican politicians want voters to believe they are conservatives. People voted them into office believing they were conservatives. Hell, you may be right, that may be the state of conservative thought today. Something to ponder.
On a side note it is interesting that Democrats are finally believing it is OK to admit they are socialists. It’s something they have tried to keep under wraps, dancing a delicate dance that has confirmed to the socialist true believers they are socialists while maintaining plausible deniability to the more moderate Democratic public. Obviously they think the public has shifted far enough to the left that they can “come out of the closet.” It will be interesting to see how the public reacts. I suppose we will know after these next elections.
