[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

When I read the description of the councilman as being a ‘conservative Democrat’ it caused me some confusion. A ‘conservative Democrat’ makes as much sense a a ‘pregnant virgin’. (Of course, there was that ONE miraculous exception two thousand years ago!) I guess that there COULD be a ‘conservative Democrat’, though I believe that would be VERY rare!

I think Mayor Koch was a conservative Democrat.

Conservative Democrats were once common here in the south.

Many of them became Republicans.

Diaz seems like a decent man. Glad he is showing some courage and leadership.
