I wouldn’t think that any conservative capitalist would be too worried about that agenda.

I'm beginning to think the conservatives are being taken over by populists, who rail against business and think "corporate capitalism" is a bad thing.

I've never seen conservatives so up in arms about people spending money to support their candidates.

I remember not long ago when we were all CHEERING the Citizen's United court decision, and attacking Obama for denigrating the court at his state of the union address. Now it looks like some conservatives support Obama's attack on that decision, and believe that unlimited expenditures should be made illegal somehow.

You are correct. And you are right in noting that populism and conservatism are not the same thing.

Ditto - When I read these detractors, I immediately think of our victory in Citizens and what it will mean to honest conservatives in the next election.
