Nice try, Mona, but the definition of "conservative" only stretches so far. At best, he can be called "moderate." Maybe an unofficial libertarian.

His stances on abortion, gun owner rights, and gay rights disqualify him from legitimately being called a conservative.

His stance on gun rights disqualifies him from being a libertarian. But the truth is, if he is our candidate in 2008 we HAVE to vote for him because the alternative will be so much worse.

Wash your mouth out with soap. Libertarians would have absolutely no truck with this gun grabbing fascist.

Methinks he cannot be called a smalltown-Southern Conservative. But, I think he can be fairly called an urban Conservative. For those of us who do not relate to Evangelical Church's or who live in cities with no real connection to small town mores we have our own Conservative culture. I think he is simply a strong Urban conservative. He will give form to the rest of us and those of us with the urban-suburban orientation will unite with the smalltown-Southern wing and together we will inherit the Earth.
