Unfortunately in FL there are many ex-Dims in the supposed GOP majority legislature. Sometime their actions make one wonders if they are really conservatives. Other times it seems to be a good thing.
Unfortunately, the actions of most elected Republicans make me think they are not conservative either. Out of control spending, failure to stand up for social security reform, failure to control borders, etc., etc., etc.
I think whether or not they are conservative is important but I was really thinking more of the implications to the Democrat party. The polarization of the parties is creating a situation where only one party will be viable in the future because it is becoming increasingly the case that to be a conservative to moderate Democrat means you have no place in what has become Howard Dean's party. Republicans need to be more polarized by fiscal responsibility and conservative principles and eventually we are going to have to clean house on the right in order to more forward into the future with a real conservative agenda.
