Bullshit.

Conservatives, for the record, are conservative because they believe, AS DID OUR FOUNDING FATHERS, in leaving many matters to the state and local government and recognizing the freedom of the individual.

And are more likely to compromise in comparison to the far left.

That does not address the issue that the MAJORITY of Americans are NOT CONSERVATIVES. WHY should we have a government that is not in agreement with the majority of our people?

If you are saying there was compromise during the past 7 years by the conservatives, you must be living in a different country. Bush and the GOP have one simple creed- We will listen to you and then do it OUR WAY! The concept of compromise is not within the way Bush and the GOP operate! Why would we want another 4 years of that approach?

That's because Bush and the GOP are not conservatives, Col. We're speaking different languages here.



What you're saying then, is we should not even have elections. We should basically have a military style government where the leader is chosen according to mob rule.

Money. Money. Money. Money. I recently shot a job for a major Bush donor. It was a four day stint, a fellow Texan, this man had more money than God. He (and his entourage) was as far right as anyone I've ever seen. And his money paid for a MAJOR event that is a pet project of Laura's. I can't say more than that. But, we're talking MILLIONS. Because those with the most polorizing views are also the ones who support (financially) candidates, we tend to get candidates that aren't in the center on either side. I'm not talking about $20 pledges here. I'm not talking about volunteering for a campaign. I'm talking about purchasing a months worth of advertisments. I'm talking about power through money.

If you think money isn't the answer to this question, stop and think about it.

which is slightly better than the democrat creed--we will tell you what to do and then do what you are doing anyways

actaully that is what an election is

ALL but one ( Dr. Paul) of the GOP Presidential candidates support the Bush policies on such things as tax cuts, Social Security, Health, Iraq, Trade, Abortion and gay marriage. They all claim they are conservatives. Sounds like either you or they do not know who they are. One thing for sure, the majority of Americans do not agree with the Bush policies and since the GOP candidates support almost all the Bush policies with the possible exception of amnesty for illegal’s, sounds like NONE of them should be elected. They support policies that only satisfy a minority of the voters no matter what label you want to give them!

In a democracy those elected should be in agreement with the MAJORITY! To have policies that cater to 25-30% is not a Democracy!!!!!!!

It's worth noting that no Democratic Presidential candidate has gotten over 50% of the vote since 1976 and that was just barely.

You have completely convinced me you either have absolutely no knowledge of the real world, or on the DNC payroll.  Why don't democrats label themselves as liberals?  Because the word "liberal" today means socialism, welfare state, etc.




And democrats are really any different gene?  How about Hillary who says we must take things away from citizens for the "greater good"?



BS once again.  You don't represent a majority of anything, so stop telling everyone what "the voters want".  The government isn't run on biased media polls.




I doubt you would be saying the same thing if a democrat was President. 

in a democracy no one needs to be told by an idiot like you how to think.

bush was voted into office twice.

the gop was voted into office for the last 12 years except for the last time.

and after this year they will be elected back into control
