1. I know he is an Obama supporter....
..but I was surprised to hear his argument of Obama as a conservative! And it actually made sense! He said Obama is calm, reasoned and prudent....which he is. But it honestly never occured to me that it could be a description of a conservative.......

7. true.....
I've always liked Obama. From his '04 convention speech, I could tell he was very talented. But initially I began to support him in this election because I felt he had the capacity to bring this country together.

3. that's what conservatives are supposed to be
I think of it like a car - conservatives are supposed to be the brakes, liberals are supposed to be the gas pedal.

9. Democrats have been the fiscally conservative party for a while now
In spite of the idiocy of the Republicans.
