i meant 2008, not 2006
No problem. But define "conservative", since that seems to have morphed from "responsible-tax-cutting-small-government-types", to a mirror image of it's democratic counterpart, i.e. "big-government-spend-it-all-buying-votes-with-other-people's-money-types".
When I stop to thnk about the ballooning federal budgets in the last five years, all the pork, the apparent lack of morals (i.e. DeLay's troubles, Abramoff), I'm beginning to wonder if there any "conservatives" left. Except those that will keep a republican who can win (like a Guiliani) off the ticket in 2008 (not pro-life and labelled a "gun-grabber", messy personal life). The ones within the party apparatus who control the money and delegates.
So, if you have a TRUE conservative in mind, with the ability to actually win (i.e. have wide appeal while openly espousing a conservative agenda), I'm all ears. I certainly don't know of one.
