Being in Texas I get to see ads for politicians that generally strike me as a bit odd. One of the ads features a candidate that claims to be a principled conservative who then proceeds to tell about the last administrations policies.
Makes you wonder what principled means in that context.
Of course its hard to determine what a conservative stands for anymore.
Bigger deficits?
More sexual abuse?
Less diversity?
Less health coverage?
They do want to reward they're wealthy donors, so guess that is consistent.
In some ways I would have been considered a conservative not so long ago since I believe in fiscally responsible and principled Government.
I also believe that the Government shouldn't impinge on individual liberty or anyone's pursuit of happiness.
Of course those things seem to now define me as a liberal or a progressive.
I can live with that.
