“It does when the person in the WH is the LEADER of your party.”

Conservatism is not a party.

Conservatives influence, become members, press for conservative policy, etc within the repubulican party.

It exists as a political philosophy outside of any party.

Partys change. As we all know.

Conservative values do not.

Ok, think fast - as a conservative, which party do you align with? Are you purposely being obtuse?

I don't call myself a Republican and the party stinks of big gubmint weasels, but I certainly don't congregate with another party for philosophical discussions. Like it or not Republicans (and that includes the loser in the WH) speak for conservatives.
