But in my book, folks who push liberals like Giuliani and Schwarzenegger, qualify their titles as "practical conservatives," and think the Republican Party needs to abandon much of its platform and move left to win, aren't my cup of tea--nor would I call them conservatives.

Exactly. Before many of them left,,,,the Rudy-apologists came up with some really criginal names to diminish, obfuscate, demean and dilute the meaning of 'conservative'.

Some of their more popular conservative 'qualifiers' were,,,,

'COMMON SENSE' conservative,,,,

'REALISTIC' conservative, and,,,

'PRAGMATIC' conservative.

I wonder how many more creative ways they have come up with over there to blur and insult the meaning of conservative??

The FRiberals were trying to diminish conservatism while they were still here.:

It's not going to be DNC Lite; it's going to be a more moderate conservative party though; you all have had your foot on our necks for too long. This country has to be governed in the middle; the world has moved on from the 50's. The Contract with America will unite this party again. But we're not going to let you make abortion and guns the big issues this time around. Post Reply | Private Reply | To 792 | View Replies
