Avoid addressing any issues.

Hope everyone else does too.

You nailed it. Central to conservative philosophy is to stand up for the status quo. That can be accomplished by simply avoiding the issues.

Another worthless thread designed to express one's displeasure with the highly exaggerated views of other Americans. Instead of working to solve problems or even helping to define them, one decides to lambaste individuals that don't exist in order to convey their passive aggression. What a freaking disservice to the country.

Who needs terrorists when we've got each other?

Quite the contrary, I think conservatives are the only ones addressing the real issues:
  1. Energy independence through expansion of our own natural resources (drill and produce here) and work toward developing alternative sources of energy (but not corn for fuel, which is driving up food prices which impacts the family budget negatively).

    Democrats want us to remain dependent on foreign sources of oil, which puts us in a weak and dangerous position, should one of our enemies choose to cut us off from the supply.

  2. Keep taxes low, which helps all Americans, and encourages corporate expansion (creating jobs), helps small businesses to grow and prosper (creating jobs), stimulating the economy overall, and putting more money (not less) in the Federal coffers (a proven result of lower marginal tax rates).

    Obama has vowed to eliminate or reduce the Bush tax cuts which brought us out of the Clinton recession that was plaguing the economy in the last year of the Clinton presidency.

  3. Keep America safe from our enemies through a strong military, including the most advanced weapons (defensive and offensive) and equipment that technology has to offer and maintaining the military readiness of our troops to deploy at a moments notice.

    Obama has said he will cut the military budget, and eliminate weapons programs, putting America in a dangerous position, should we become a target once again.

  4. Maintaining the highest level of intelligence possible, so that we stay abreast of the activities of our enemies, providing foreknowledge of any and all schemes and plans for attacks against the U.S. and our interests.

    Democrats do not see the need for this intelligence, and call it "spying on American citizens" or other absurd moniker. It was Democrats that created a "wall" between intelligence agencies preventing information from being shared, making it more difficult to discover plans of our enemies being carried out against us.
