Christie Todd Whitman was a what Republican?

Liberal Republican.

There are endless examples. i won't bother posting 100 Liberal/Moderate Republicans.

My statement is correct, Conservative is a social label.

"Conservatism is term descriptive of social/moral/cultural right-wingers"- and what about right wing libertarians? I'd say the term applies to the sociological sphere only [i.e. to what and how people do to one another, via government or directly]. Everything else does not apply, and ought to be irrelevant, per Jeffersonian dictum that the religion [or the lack thereof] of his neighbor neither breaks his [Jefferson's] leg nor picks his pocket [and hence ought to be irrelevant as long as it stays that way]. The same ought to apply to the neighbor's culture [or the lack thereof] and morals. And if Jefferson was not a conservative, then who was?
