I said campaigned for doma....nothing else.....geesh.

I selected "other" on the poll, since the choice I would have made wasn't listed ... and is probably against forum rules, anyhow.

I said conservative on both - it's what he campaigned on.
So at least I have an idea what to expect the next time a self-anointed fiscal conservative republican comes down the pipe.

Thank you for telling us. I wonder what the others who voted "Other" are thinking. I probably shouldn't have included that option because it's meaningless when you don't get an explanation.
