Thorne,

I am glad you think for yourself it is what we all should do. As far as being a conservative I have one question here who was more fiscally conservative Clinton or either of the Bushes or for that matter Ronald Reagan who idea of being conservative was to take away the protection and help of the low income people to make more tax cuts for the wealthy, turned out all of the emotional and mentally damaged people from institutions so that now we have a huge homeless population with people barking at cars in the road.

I am a life long registered republican but just regestered as a Democrat though when ask my party affiliation I say I am a radical.

Clinton used his bloody pulpit and Rush called it whining remember he had to deal with the republicans that wanted more tax cuts for the rich and nothing for anyone else. That refused to fix, repair the infrastructure to say little of blazing new trails no matter how much proof history gives us that it is the way to grow the economy with almost everyone benefiting from it.
