I have always wondered why they claimed that title while running up trillions of dollars in debt.
Do Republicans just ignore the fiscal side of conservatism and focus on church, abortion, hating gays and other issues. Is that what conservatism means to republicans?
you have it backwards for a LOT of people
and why do so many of you on this board want to put people in these neat little boxes? as if every liberal and progressive thought alike...not likely
i am a FISCAL conservative....i know a very rarified bird nowadays....i believe in people taking care of themselves for the most part, with government there to lend a helping hand up once in a great while
I have become much more moderate when it comes to social issues over the years....i dont like abortion, or gay marriage, but neither of them bothers me personally....and it isnt my life, so who am i to judge
i am a big proponent of 2A....but i think we could use "sensible" controls when it comes to weapons that can shoot more than a few shots a minute....i dont understand why citizens need or want AR15 or similar type weapons....but i currently own 3 weapons myself....
We need to make adjustments to our spending in DC....we need to reign in lobbyists....and we need to get ALL MONEY OUT OF POLITICS....but that will never happen in my lifetime
We need to make it easier to immigrate legally...too expensive and too long for many....my wife has relatives still on list for over 8 years now....but we need to stop the flow of undocumented coming in, or those overstaying visas
Everify is not going to work by itself to cure the work issue....that only will get 40% which work in actual businesses....the rest work for themselves, or on the shadow economy....in your neighborhoods, and until we stop hiring them to do our lawn care, roofing, and other miscellaneous home repairs, they will continue to thrive in the cash and carry businesses.
Some may call some of my views libertarian....i have voted I, and mostly R my life.....because i dont like big giveaway programs
Not all republicans are conservatives, and not all conservatives care for the GOP
