I am conservative. I am not a hypocrite. christian conservatives are hypocrites who talk about small government in our lives, but banning marriage. most libertarians are the same. we think the way republicans used to think, back when republicans earned their way onto mount rushmore.

Now when will you manage to get beyond my get even that goes back to 1976? Surely you can get even, also.
I answered no in the poll, because I'm not an idiot.
However, I now wish I could go to yours, dressed in a tea dress and a big red sponge nose, carrying a sign like "My kids can't pay for this - they've got an illegal war to pay for!"
Just to see your tough-guy reaction.
Interesting. One year ago Bush was soundly criticized, rightfully so, for out of control spending. Now that your team is up at bat, out of control spending is smart.
Looks to me that the sudden change in values is idiocy.

Not all the same. I disagree with everyone at some point.
During these events, if we could replace the hateful buffoonery with a few eloquent speakers, effectively and actually demonstrating a valid disposition instead of yahooing last-minute mantras...
it is too easy to ridicule the protesters when it feels more like a bandwagon sideshow.
Because I'll be really really really surprised if the one in my area doesn't start off nice, but end up blocking the streets, hindering traffic, bothering EVERYONE in the town and generally just being a bunch of a-holes. I'm all about breaking down party lines, protesting what the government is doing yadda yadda, but unfortunately where I live (or rather, used to live until 3 weeks ago) the rednecks will take over and stuff will end up broken.
The protest demonstrations are sour grapes because you assume they will block streets, hinder traffic and stuff will end up broken.
I am a libertarian, so I recognize that there is only one party in washington. both democrats and republicans are socialists. bush nationalized the banks, and when republicans lost power, then they decided that they needed to be conservative.
Cheers to that...

But I'm all for a good show. All for naught?
I'm gunna be at my local one and I'm hoping it'll be full of new ideas and revised old ones. I doubt it will get over taken by idiots. There should be enough like minded people there to hold the peace together. The conservatives, the real ones, need a new movement. <-----and by that I mean a return to out ROOTS, real conservatism. We NEED NEW REPRESENTATION. www.Rebuildtheparty.com is another good starting point. No repubics please.
I would go to it if there weren't any republicans there. I would go if there were conservatives there. it's always nice to be around INDIVIDUALS with brains.
what did the republicans do over the last 8 years that makes you think they aren't leftists?
It's more what they didn't do. We've spent or authorized so much money over the past three months that I have actually lost count. The amounts are staggering and yet no one seem to know where it went or where it's going. Our elected officials don't even read the bills so they don't have a clue either. But this recent trend in spending is a Democrat monster. It a huge scam, a reverse version of starving the beast and the reason I believe we could get really get hit with oppressive taxes in the near future. That you cannot blame on the Republicans.
