Prob is that there's umpty different kinds of "conservatives."
There's the 'rollers, who are upset that the government isn't making sure that Little Betty doesn't get exposed to rap music. Then there's the "hands off" folks who think the government should run the roads, etc., and that's it... The financial folks, and the folks who are worried about "those" art majors... There's the ones who want to nuke the middle east, and the ones who want to buy it. And the ones who think we can rent it...
And nobody likes anyone else.
And then there's the rest of the Republican party... The "middle of the road" folks, who, if they ever got together with the middle of the road folks from the democratic side, could be dangerous. "Okay. We're electing you. Sit there. No new laws, okay?"
