The only Conservatives in Congress, are in The Republican Party. There's no way I could vote for a Democrat, any Democrat and betray my Conservative principals.
A local radio show, hosted by Moon Griffon, interviewed a Democrat, who was running for office a few years ago--I forget here name--on the basis of, "Hey, folks! Let's give her a fair shot". Well, she sounded like a level headed Conservative on his show, until she got elected and swung left quicker than you can flick flies off of ****. She made some outrageous comment about Conservatives, that would make most Liberal heads spin--I wish I could remember her name, so I could dig that comment up. My point is, Democrats are going to vote Liberal, when they get into office and there's no getting around it. Some Republicans will vote Liberal. But, the only people I can expect to preserve Conservative principles, are in the Republican party, period.
