Who comes to mind when someone says "conservative"?

[TheCowsCameHome]

Do you get a poster-boy image in your mind when "conservative" is mentioned?

I guess I would have to say Newt Gingrich always did it for me - mean spirited, arrogant smirk on his face, the schoolyard bully type.

These current crop like Ken Mehlman and Rick Santorum are just as dangerous, but are packaged like sissies.

fiscal conservative but not now. :(

6. evil, greedy, lying bastards...

Like Hannity, O'Reilly, Gingrich...Cheney, Bush, Bolton, Rice and Rumsfeld...

The "fear, smear, and snear" crowd...

Novak, Coulter, Limbaugh

Living proof that "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers" was much more than a movie...

[PurityOfEssence]

7. Bigfoot

Seriously, though, I think of rabid, unprincipled reactionaries like Tom DeLay.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. Barry Goldwater, the classic political conservative.

Fiscally conservative.
Politically conservative.
Socially libertarian.

The rest are just neocons and wannabe's. Even Reagan was bogus.

Conservatism is not equivalent to right wing.

[Rebellious Republican]

9. Good analogy NH, I concur! Guess thats why I left the Republican

Party! It has been hijacked by a bunch of Neoconservative Chicken hawk Corporatist elites.

20. Now it is Bush. He is the new image of conservatism.

That is actually kind of a nice thought. That vacuous, soon-to-be-disgraced SOB makes a great poster boy for them.

[Dinger]

21. Well, What Doesn't Come To Mind Is bu$h

[agincourt]

not a believable word out of their mouth.

[TankLV]

Selfish, bigoted, hypocrites.

Self righteous, hateful racists.

Rich, coddled and pampered inheritors of wealth who never had to work a day in their lives.

[Bluesplayer]

24. the haircut.

[Greybnk48]

25. Yes the hair!

this shows my age, but I get a picture of a white male with either a flat-top or the greasy Rumsfeld do. I also think of horn rimmed glasses (or Rumsfeld glasses). Never could stand Drew Carey because of this--still can't. Add to this blonde women with big hair and too much makeup who always have a death-mask grin and vacant eyes.
