Mao would be one who murdered over 70 million being the most loved by the left. Most of those groups I have not even heard of. Interesting you are so familiar with them.

I belong to a Tea Party and people are screened for radical ideas before we even let them join. Like most liberals you don't know what you are talking about and simply spew the lies the left regurgitates.
All of the groups I mention are Conservative groups.

By the way Robert Byrd was one of the most conservative Democrats in the Senate. In fact prior to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 the majority of Democrats from Southern states were Conservatives.

Hell one of the groups actually uses the term "Conservative" in its name.

It's been a fundamental part of the Conservative political philosophy to stand against the Civil Right and equal treatment of Black Americans. One of the founders of the modern Conservative Movement was Barry Goldwater. He opposed the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Barry Goldwater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:
In 1961, Goldwater told an audience of Atlanta Republicans that "we're not going to get the negro vote as a block in 1964 and 1968, so we ought to go hunting where the ducks are".[13] In 1964, Goldwater ran a conservative campaign that emphasized "states' rights."[14] Goldwater's 1964 campaign was a magnet for conservatives. Goldwater broadly opposed strong action by the federal government. Although he had supported all previous federal civil rights legislation, Goldwater made the decision to oppose the Civil Rights Act of 1964.[15] His stance was based on his view that the act was an intrusion of the federal government into the affairs of states and, second, that the Act interfered with the rights of private persons to do business, or not, with whomever they chose.[16]

All this appealed to white Southern Democrats, and Goldwater was the first Republican to win the electoral votes of the Deep South states (Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and South Carolina) since Reconstruction. However, Goldwater's vote on the Civil Rights Act proved devastating to his campaign everywhere outside the South (besides Dixie, Goldwater won only in Arizona, his home state), contributing to his landslide defeat in 1964.

I'd say the man spent money like a drunken sailor, but that would be an insult to sailors. Sailors only spend their own money.

Byrd was a racist to the end that hid it well to stay in office. Unfortunately the truth slipped out late in his life. Of course there is always the option of someone holding on to the propaganda fed them by the left.

Ex-Klansman Robert Byrd, the senior senator from West Virginia, casually used the phrase "white ni**er" twice on national TV this weekend.

Please tell me that by now, you don't identify which politicians are liberal or conservative by how much they spend!! LOL...i mean, c'mon, lets get real.

Whether or not Byrd was liberal or conservative is a matter of opinion. But please, you have ZERO evidence that Republicans are small spenders, so don't even go there.

Just askin'.
Don't know how Obama did in WV? If Obama loses WV it means Tea Partiers are racist?

Who cares how many blacks voted for McCain? What does that have to do with anything?

When you're right you're right: ALL politicians spend like crack wh*res on pay day. But we should make distinctions between fiscal vs social conservatives, shouldn't we?

Dems are just lashing out in embarrassment because the Tea Party managed to vote in more minorities than the "tolerant" liberals. The Tea Party basically usurped the Democrats by proving their inclusiveness with actions instead of just giving it lip service like the libs do.

I believe Obama did worse in W. Va. than in any other state. That could betoken racism among democrat voters (or not). The fact that Obama got something like 95% of the black vote doesn't suggest anything to you? At all?

Yea, but how about electing a fiscal conservative first before we make distinctions. Frankly, the ones you've elected (or THOUGHT you elected) don't impress me. And by the looks of it, you aint impressed either.

I'd say, at this point in American politics, that we have nowhere to go but up. I'm optimistic about the recent crop we just sent to DC, but I'm not foolish enough to pop the champagne corks just yet.
