Does anyone think conservatives are just lames who cannot get out of the box?

Liberal means open to new ideas - conservative means closed minded. Conservatives do not give jobs to the most qualified - just look at the no-bid deals Haliburton (formerly headed by Dick Cheny) got in Iraq and now in New Orleans. I live in New Orleans and the whole Katrina-FEMA-Home Land Security mess is all about sweet heart deals going to Republican insiders who are charging U.S. tax payers over $80.00 an hour to hire illegals at about $4.00 per hour to sweep debris in the streets. Next, conservative DOES mean racist. I'm from the south, I watched the Republic party court and recruit every racist like Strom Thrumond, Jessie Helms, Trent Lott and even David Duke because they promised a safe and welcome place for their views. True, money and power do corrupt - and neither liberal nor conservative are immune from that - but conservatives just add backwardness and ignorance to the equation. Always remember that the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were LIBERAL movements. Back then, the conservatives were called Tories. Don't let the Conservative-Republican-Tories of today get away the lie that they either patriotic or pro-American - they are not. \n\nBy the way, I'm not a minority, not a woman, not gay, not an alien, not from the northeast, not disabled and not on welfare or any public assistance. I'm self employed, I pay taxes, I'm a homeowner, I vote in every election, I'm a veteran of two wars, I hold civilan degree in Political Science and am a graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, I'm a southerner with multiple Confederate ancestors and I'm a Democrat.

the sad part is... I can't tell if you're joking or not.. \n\nbut as pretty much everyone else has said... many of those you call "liberals" don't really care about the issues you mentioned...\n\nmost think that there are more important issues out there...

You should take a look at your self.  You just stereotyped every conservative person in the country in to one category.  Perhaps if you were more a liberal person you would see that many people are conservative.  Furthermore that many conservatives are not Republican.  Though I find your remarks insulting, I feel that you obviously asked the question, expecting a response so here it is.\n\nSir/Madam which ever you may be, you are a buffoon.

I was born with a God-given, intelligent brain.  It is not by chance that I am voting today for conservative public servants. I have studied the issues, considered those running, and have a will to choose those who will best represent my values.  Aren't we blessed!!!

I do think some people have a point here. Politicians may start out with the best intentions and I think once they are bedded-in, they are called into some sort of secret government society underground as such and told what the "REAL" agenda is and either promised riches to carry them out or told that they will have their nuts chopped off if they don't.

Whoa, you are confusing conservatives with republicans, which is what the rep's have done to most folks.True conservatives want the people-not government- to have power.The concept -OF, BY and FOR the people has been abandoned by both major political parties, and today each gets its power from special interest groups and its voters by polarizing the people. Make no mistake, it's always the same bunch in control- they just change masks.Think I'm wrong? Try getting elected on your own without Reps or Dems affilistion, see the roadblocks they have in place.

I can see how your question relates to your comments.  Oh, no, wait.  I see.  This was just a way for you to vomit your diatribe on how you don't like conservatives.  You're not really interest in a dialogue or an exchange ideas.  You just want to bash conservatives.  Ok...  at least you're honest.

Conservatives have that as a platform, if you just read between the lines. Like Bush's " tax cuts across the board" is translated into tax cuts for the very rich. So they are the party of cooperate welfare and take more bribes then anyone.

I too walk closer to the conservative line... and I do value our freedoms and rights... the liberals   carry it too far  though.... to such a point that they actually infringe on peoples rights such as in abolishing religion etc. as far as the patriot act goes... I think it makes every one nervous in some ways to  know big brother is watching... at the same time we do want to be protected  from  further acts of terrorism ...and some terrorist are home grown.... perhaps there just needs to be better checks and balances on what they are doing and how they are doing it................fiscally  Democrats  / liberals  most often are the ones  that   raise the taxes and   spend money   on    a multitude of  programs\n..though both parties need to be more conservative financially.....  I don't align myself with either party... some  republicans are liberal, some democrats are conservative..... I am independent...  either party requires dogmatic thinking to an extent... so I vote for the best candidate... who ever they are...

Anyone who claims to be 100% liberal or 100% conservative is an idiot and not hearing the issues.  In reality, everyone is a moderate.

I agree with your assesment! Those Republicans seem so old, and hagard looking.\n\nThe 1st step of Repiblican recovery is admitting you are one.

You could call this party the Know-Nothings!\n\nThat's the problem with so called moderates.  They believe in absolutely nothing.  Its just like Ann Coulter says  "If you have the intelligence above that of a toaster you are either a liberal or a conservative."\n\nAnd that is the absolute truth.

I listened to that little clip they have and to me these people are not true conservatives.  They remind me of the spineless republican politicians that seem to bow down at every liberals whiney tantrums.  It clearly shows that the republican party has strayed away from true conservatism.  The only thing I agree with that site is smaller government and lower taxes.  \n\nA real conservative will like this link - http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/zeiger/030105\na liberal will hate it.  If anyone agrees with what this link says, then you are not a liberal.  \n\nTo me, todays "republicans" (especially politicians) have strayed away from conservatism.  Too bad they don't have cons for conservative on your voter registration card instead of rep for republican.  Well, it is better than have dem on it!!  Yikes, what a SCARY thought.

Frankly, I wish that they would. Those bible thumping manic retards make us all look like a bunch of ignorant megalomaniacs. I think of myself as a conservative, and I believe in God, but I honestly don't care if other people don't. \n\nIn fact, I just had to send a couple packing off my front porch last night. Nothing like a 78 lb Rotty throwing himself against the screen door to discourage visitors. Heh heh heh.\n\nAnyway, I'd be glad to see the back end of those morons as they break off to form their own cult, pardon me, party- because it sucks that everyone associates those attention seeking lowlifes to all Republicans.

Hah! That's funny...whew independent thinking. \n\nWell, that is really the meaning and idea of being a conservative. Adopting set ideas that don't change and are not open for debate. It comes natural to them.\n\nAny intellectual capacity they do have is not used for discovery and introspection but to establish an arguable defense for their staid ideas.
