FYI Rich, there is a big difference between Conservative and Republican... just as there is a huge difference between Liberal and Democrat.

It's apparent that you are not going to budge on your stance that more government is a good thing and Conservative values don't fit into America. You can have those... and I hope they work out for you.

As a Conservative I believe that people are at their best when left to their own devices, not controlled by a bureaucracy.

As for "democrats want your money and want to spend it on stuff"... infrastructure is one thing, bailing out companies who have priced themselves out of the market and driven their companies into a ditch with tax dollars is not something I approve of... but before you flip out, the Republicans in Washington are largely at fault on this, just as much as the Democrats are.

I make regular posts to my blog, so rather than detail each of my stances I would just suggest you keep reading. As for the election response thread where it was mentioned that the author did not vote for McCain/Palin... go back and take a peek at the Author section under the post title. I did not write that post, it was a guest post by a close friend. For the record I DID vote for McCain Palin.

This country may need change, but MORE government is not it...
