Could you be an undercover conservative? I couldn't.

[Stinky The Clown]

I am hardwired to be a liberal. It is all I know. I can't even understand the conservative viewpoint. I have no doubt I could learn to imitate a conservative, but if I had to act conservative from a pure reflex action, I simply couldn't do it.

This is analogous to when I have driven in countries that drive on the left. I had no trouble sitting on the right side of the car to drive. I drove a stick and had no trouble adapting to shifting with my left hand. I had no trouble with roundabouts, except occasionally I've had to do an extra lap or two. My hardwired left hand drive ways became apparent when I was trying to back into traffic. Unless I was overly deliberate, I would often look the wrong way and back into the wrong lane. Being a pedestrian in right hand drive countries was even worse than driving. When you step off a curb, your instinct makes you look . . . . the wrong way! That speeding car in the curb lane is about to hit you in the *back* of the head. I am a left hand drive driver.

And so it is with conservatism. Intellectually, I can interpret it. I don't agree with most of it, but when I think about it, I can makes the words make some sense. I just can't believe it. Or even pretend to do so. I am a liberal.

1. I could.

I have had a lot of experience with hardcore assholes. I could fit in 2 ways. I could act like the quiet supportive type or I could lie through my teeth and spout their shite. I would not be able to engage in violent acts though.
However, if I did this, it would have to be or a good cause. I could not do it just to do it and expose myself to it without a greater purpose in mind. That would be the kicker.

2. I cover things like rallies and events

and I cover them fairly, just as I cover the other side fairly.

As I told somebody on a story last Friday... "I am not fox news."

So if a conservative does something right, I will applaud them, if they do not, I will tell the story. The same goes for Dems.

Now I need to write down my notes in the puter, so I can understand my chicken scratch, or rather as I can still understand them.

3. This is kind of a trick question.

First you need to find someone who remembers what a real conservative is. There was a time when conservatives were the people who got elected every once in a while to make sure the budget was sound, who were business proponents, law and order people. Concepts most thinking people could identify with. You know, "I might not agree with you but I understand where you're coming from" Trying to be an undercover conservative with the current crop means putting your mind into a sick and delusional place. You'd have to be a really good actor, have some professional psychiatric training or some other means of channeling insanity and it would probably make you bleed from the ears.

7. This is just from talking to my neighbor

I can't imagine what would happen if I tried to think like him. He did help me fix the leaking pipe under my sink though.

[Hubert Flottz]

9. LOL!

I feel your pain!

[Wait Wut]

4. Not for long.

I used to troll a few RW sites, but I could never really be much more than a moderate Republican. I had a troll on Teaper Nation for awhile that was wingnut, but I got bored too easily. She was fun, though. Lived in a trailer up at four corners with an abusive husband that was part of a militia. He took her computer away because he said teapers were corporate fools, so during the day she would sneak over to a neighbors house to use their computer.

5. I am actually a

undercover conservative posing as a liberal. My ultimate goal is to infiltrate the democratic party, 'act like' i am condemning Rmoney/Lyin, send money to President Obama's campaign to help get him re-elected and then VOTE in November for Obama and then when Obama gets re-elected I will come on here and say... haha FOOLED YOU ALL!

[LeftofObama]

6. We liberals can see right through your story though.

Because you said "infiltrate the democratic party." If you were a true conservative you would have said "infiltrate the democrat party". Also, all of your words are spelled correctly. That's a dead give away!

[msanthrope]

8. Yes. That is all. nt

[Egalitarian Thug]

10. It's just part of the job. That's why I have such a hard time with the DU conservadems that infest

this board. I know their game, I play it every day with the real thing, and because of this I also know that the Democratic Party will rue the day that they let these moderate republicans to contaminate the party with their nonsense.

[HopeHoops]

11. Fuck no. I look like Tommy Chong.

[Hubert Flottz]

13. Hell, I look like Billy Gibbons only bigger.

I might get to play a wise man?

[Hubert Flottz]

12. I probably could, if I was suddenly taken over by some horrible, dumb-ass, selfish demon,

while I was passed out drunk, in my worst nightmare. But never while being of reasonably sound mind.

I'd never be able to tolerate my own smell if I was a GOPer.

[Shankapotomus]

14. Sure I think I could play

Donnie Brasco to their goons. I've read the enemy's book. I would relish to be the spy that ruined their evil plans.

But here is one of the masters:

[DevonRex]

15. Hell yeah. I've done it many times.

For work.

[mmonk]

16. No, couldn't get under the covers with one.

[sabrina 1]

21. Me neither. There is no way I could pretend to be a Conservative. I have gone to their

hangouts but I always told them I was a Democrat. I don't see the point of pretending you are something your are not.

What does it accomplish? It adds to the deception in our system. People have a lot more respect for someone who is honest about their positions and imo, you have better chance of changing people's minds by being honest.

I hate deception of any kind and for that reason alone, could never do it. But also, I see nothing to gain from it.

[Great Caesars Ghost]

17. Put me in a room full of conservatives....

is like putting a die hard KKK member at a Martin Luther King rally. I get violent tendencies, hell I will admit, I got in many a fistfights with conservatives, but my husband always finds a way to pull me back before things got more dangerously serious.

[billyball]

18. I've played the game

I'm from Alabama ......enough said.

When everyone is running their mouths and spewing conservative nonsense, I've many times just figured it's not worth
the trouble to contradict a bunch of redneck, racist, Nascar watching morons.

Think I'm wrong ?

Come to Alabama.

[Bluenorthwest]

19. I could not.

I'm not the guy for that sort of work.

[Zorra]

20. I could probably pull it off if I was reasonably confident it would significantly help destroy the

power of conservatives in the US forever.

At least a year of serious acting classes would be necessary to learn how to act, and be, stupid would be required first.
