Interesting post... even more interesting responses,\n I think you would be surprised to find that the color line would be drawn along age lines rather than political lines. Black and White has lost a lot of it's teeth in the younger generations by which I mean ..15-40, I am white and hang with a near equal black and white ratio, all of my white friends are fiercely anti racist.. maybe because we got a lot of black friends or maybe because we're getting past that horrible barrier once and for all. I think you're on when you say it would draw the hostility out of the ignorant... but that would be a good thing because once revealed they would be rejected by the majority of non bigoted people of all walks...\nI would be totally content with any president male, female, black, white... whatever, as long as they were honest and fouthright.. \n and to be honest.. Obama is a politico man, which means he's got green in his blood,.. he lives in a $1.5 mansion that he bought through public service, how much does he care about you and I? Until the profit is taken out politics we won't have true statesmen we'll have business men that have chosen politics as their career ..\nand skin color is an afterthought  .....

The ones that say they are ultra Conservative would be Amish, so that's a lot of crap isn't it. I am a Democrat and I wont vote for a Republican unless for a local position as mayor or police chief. Otherwise no way. I have no positions on gays because i am not gay. I guess they have a right to fight for their own freedoms too.

I don't think so. Like it or not, there are still a lot of elderly people that are traditionalist and don't want a woman in the presidency. And factually, elderly folks vote more than any other group. Also, many southern voters still have the traditional values as well. I think it would wise for the dems to think twice before they put themself down in two huge voting groups like that. \nOf course if the repubs nominate condi.. then hey.. they vote swings back to the white lady for those tradionalist.\nI'm not saying I like it, but I think that these sexist and racist elements exist and could have a factor on the vote.

conservatives are people too...so, we all have different opinions.  My opinion?  He is funny, and I am sure the president thinks he is too.

WHITE MALES.  We are the anti-Christ.  We are all racist pigs that worship the dollar.  Our opinions are all self serving and totally with out merit.  Just ask any Liberal.

I'm not even sure that's being "conservative" anymore... I think it's just Batsh*t crazy...\n\ndovebar...  do you really think democrats in congress and the senate are "fascist liberals"... don't you think that's a bit extreme... besides the fact that it doesn't even make sense...

Bill Maher said:\n"I know this is about 140 years late, but to the Southern states, I would say upon further consideration, you can go."\n\nI am Southern AND liberal. Let's not confuse southern and conservative. Not all Southerners are conservative. The South was once predominately democratic, and then something shifted. I think a lot of people in the south are traditional and very family-values oriented. While I don't agree with all of these views, I don't think this is a bad thing. We are not a nation where everyone has to have the same beliefs and ideals, and that's what I think makes it such an interesting place. If all the southern conservatives left, who would I have to argue with?

This is a moot argument. There is no way possible to determine the average IQ of either group. It is a moving target there are always people switching between parties. There is probably no measurable difference.\n\nAs for an earlier comment about graduate students being liberals. That may be true for liberal arts students, but engineering, sciences, and business majors are by and large conservative. Also once people graduate and are out in the real world for a few years they tend to become conservative. My wife and I both have post graduate degrees and so do our sons. We are all conservative.

How is going white man?

I think by saying most... that's a bit of an overstatement... some were... and that's ok... I mean you're not going to get a SF liberal elected in Western NC... that's the way life is... \n\nsome are more financially conservative and socially liberal... others are the exact opposite... it comes in many different opinions... and hopefully we can all work together to get things done...\n\ntheir job is to represent their constituency in the best way they can... why should I be worried about that?\n\nmaybe I'm just not a "liberal" then?\n\nand Lieberman has said he's voting mainly Democrat... go figure... I guess he can forgive and forget...

Yo... Right on man! Absolutely spot on. In the land of the free, where everyone is equal they need terms like that.\nI learnt the term 'male Caucasian' from watching American TV. Can't they say 'white man?'

Most Roman Catholics tend to be pretty conservative - I definitely am!!  You might want to read the Catechism of the Catholic Church for more information.

In John Dean's latest book, "Conservatives Without Conscience," he discusses years and years of psychological research into the minds of conservatives.\n\nWhile they are not mentally "ill," they do posess mostly negative personality traits. This is something I have been aware of for many years of simple contact and observation.\n\nAnd no, Bush is not senile. He is a stupid, evil man.

Ultra-right wingers (not all conservatives) live in the past.  The ideal right-wingnut's world is 1950, with nuclear/military proliferation, women largely stuck at home baking pot roasts and popping out kids, and minorities keeping their place.\n\nThey're also angry hatemongers, always going for the jugular in the most inane, childish fashion.  Look at how popular Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, and Phyllis Schafly all are with the conservatives.  Combine these two facets and you've got a bunch of sore losers whose only delight is in rehashing old foes, when it's essentially pointless.\n\nMy $.02

Small government, fiscal accountability, limited involvement in foreign  wars, slow acceptance of sweeping fiscal, environmental, social, and cultural changes.  I REAL conservative might be someone like ....Theodore Rosevelt or Grover Cleveland, or Hoover, or Coolidge.  The current occupant is NOT a conservative - not with how the Reagan principals have been betrayed and our nation looted.
