First of all, they are not "conservatives"....
Barry Goldwater would spit in their faces. No true conservative would intentionally run deficits like this bunch. No true conservative would put our troops lives at risk with lies. No true conservative would ignore the southern borders. No true conservative would get so entwined in the personal lives of Americans. No true conservative would betray America the way these "neo-cons" have done. The first thing Democrats need to do is to call them on their "conservative" label. They are not conservatives.

1. You are correct
they are radical extremists with no respect for this country or its laws. They spit in the faces of every person in this country.

Edited on Mon May-09-05 09:34 AM by unblock
the democratic party is now the party of liberals, moderates, and conservatives. the banana republican party is now to the party reactionaries, fascists, and theocrats.

3. Other than the fact that they want to "conserve" all the money
and do whatever possible to make sure those without remain without.

4. you are correct! I call them "conservatives" hoping it will upset ...
the true "conservatives" and they will repudiate the crooks and neo-cons in the White House, but it does not seem to work that way.

5. Everything that they say they
are is just the opposite. They are not fiscally responsible, they are completely irresponsible, they do not promote a 'culture of life' but instead a culture of death, they are not compassionate, they are vindictive and punishing. Whatever they call themselves it's all a lie.

6. but we can't make
the idea of conservatism anything good. Conservatism has consistently been one thing over the last 100 years, and that is to PROTECT THE RICH. First, protecting the rich was done by not doing any "big government" programs, not it is HUGE DEFENSE and energy programs. They protect the rich, something conservatives like Hoover, Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II have all done the same, just in different ways.
