When they have nothing but liberals as their favorites for the GOP nomination, what does that say?

Question

If you support a Republican,

can you please list in detail what makes them truly a conservative and what makes them not a liberal.

Stephen, LOL!!! You don't know Rudy if you call him "Moderate"
I lived in NYC while he was mayor,
progaymarriage,proabortion,proopenborders,antigun,

please please please describe in gruesome detail how ANY of them sound mainstream "conservative" ..if you know what conservative means anymore.

Answer 1

I support Ron Paul-----he is truly a conservative, and he is running for the republican nomination. He has never voted against the Constitution, he has never voted for a pay raise for congress, he supports our veterans, he will abolish the IRS, and downsize government. Most of all, he will bring our troops home, not just from Iraq, but from most of the 130 countries where we currently have soldiers.
I agree that the front runners are all liberals, and they are owned by big money interests, but this time we have a real choice, albeit the news media says we don't.
We have to have the courage to take a chance, and vote our conscience. If enough of us do that, it won't matter what the media says. If we do it in the primary and he doesn't make it, we will still have the opportunity to vote for the lesser evil in the main election, so what do you have to lose?

Answer 2

Romney has been the Rep. governor of a very liberal state. (When in Rome do as the Romans do)
Now he is facing the music nationwide....a nation that is majority conservation or leaning that way.
Romney is:
1) Articulate on illegal immigration (swears he'll build the fence while increasing enforcement of existing laws
2) Wants the private sector to create a system where most people CAN afford private health insurance
3) Whats to shrink the federal government and deregulate some sectors(Reaganism)
4) Keep the taxcut beyond 2010(more Reaganism)
5) Will responcibly draw down the troops in Iraq as it become expedient.
6) last and least, will nominate conservative justices that will support right to life issues
Is that conservative enough?
It is for me. Besides, he's younger, more articulate and photogenic and can beat Hillery one on one.

Answer 3

Other than Rudy, who's a moderate, they all sound fairly mainstream conservative to me.

------------------------------------------------------------

To me being pro-gay marriage is the only sensible position. Why not let gays marry? Same with permiting women to terminate an early pregnancy. Otherwise, Rudy's stances on crime and fiscal budgeting were moderate, if not conservative. Now I'm confused by what YOU mean is "conservative." Although Romney was a moderate governor of Mass., why would you say that Mike Huckabee or John McCain aren't conservative? I could tell by what you said that you probably consider yourself a "true" conservative. How do your views differ than Huckabee's or McCain's?

Answer 4

You, like so many others, would probably benefit from not grouping people into two or four huge groups. Republican/Democrat and conservative/liberal are just too broad.

Although I appreciate your question because it points out that what people believe and do and even say takes a back seat to whatever their label is. People aren't questioning this enough.
