Re: To anybody!
bpitter2007: A real conservative is someone who believes in cutting government spending to the bone. A man or woman who believes in virtually privatizing just about everything. This includes defense spending. A real conservative never would've invented a Department of Homeland Security. A real conservative doesn't believe in tapping telephone lines of people without first obtaining search warrants. A real conservative believes in ''one strike and you're out'' when it comes to people committing felonious crimes. A real conservative believes in truly enforcing the borders; eliminating illegal immigration and significantly reducing legal immigration. A foreign policy that protects us from invaders and terrorists but doesn't mean that we should police the world or promote democracy throughout it. There are other examples that I could mention but to me, this is what it means to be a real conservative.

To anybody!
I didn't mean to say "all Republicans", I meant to say the Republicans I hear on the TV only.

To anybody!
Can someone please give me a definition of a real Conservative. I seem to be split in understanding the difference between all the Republicans. What is Guiliani? Is he not a Conservative? What is Romney? And what is Huckabee is they are not Conservatives? By the way, I'm a Democrat and it seems that all the Republicans consider Dems left-wing. I don't understand how they want to split up the two parties into left, right, middle. What difference does it make overall?

Re: Re: There was a movie......
RedStatesMan: Paul is the most conservative of the presidential candidates. He is a strict constitutionalist. Hunter and Tancredo are more conservative than the top-tier Republican presidential hopefuls. Isn't it interesting that the top-tier Republican candidates aren't the ones who are the most conservative? What ever happened to the true conservative movement in the Republican Party? Or is ''neo-conservatism'' really ''conservatism?''

Re:
Ex Turpi: Huckabee probably made the remark because he is afraid of AIDS spreading. Maybe at the time, he didn't know that AIDS can't be spread through casual contact. As a former Baptist minister, he knows that the Bible states that homosexuality is immoral behavior.

Re:

Re: There was a movie......
Corbin: Robert Novak recently wrote an op-ed piece stating that Huckabee isn't a ''real conservative.''

In my rereading of Mr. Huckabee's comments of yesterday, he seems NOT to have shied away from his earlier stated position. I apologise for my misstatement.

Being a chief political executive must be tough. No matter what decisions one makes some are likely to be wrong. Note Mayor Giuiliani and his Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik. Here, I am NOT defending Hucakabee nor Giuiliani; just to say, politicians are frail beings too.
To me, the quarantine of Aids patients says more about his judgement and motivation. I cannot fathom what led him to make such a remark. Yet in an interview yesterday, he intimated he would not have made that statement, if the known facts then were the facts as known today.

There was a movie......
that I believe was Andy Griffith's first one....called "A Face in the Crowd" about a megalomaniac who was revealed when someone turned on a microphone and revealed the character's off air comments.........statement about what he thought of the common people......
That's how I look at Huckabee......people are going to start turning on the mics and he will be exposed for the Conservative he's not.......
