....."they always will when we pretend opportunistic politicians like Jan Brewer, Marco Rubio and Chris Christie are conservatives." I have been in the cave to long, trying to understand what makes the people named here faux conservatives. Or, is my simple logical understanding playing with me? Some kind of point me in the right direction would help. Thanks

Steelpony and Elizabeth - sometimes (especially for single issue voters) the voting record can be used to make a candidate appear more liberal/conservative than they are. In the process of gaining supporters, compromise riders are added to bills which run counter to the issue itself. The media can claim a politician's positions opposite of the true stance simply by virtue of 'he voted for" some obscure funding or ruling. Shameless media and lazy electorate...

Christie is not a conservative. The jury is out on the other two.

Steelpony: Perhaps that characterization stems from the fact that some don't view the politicians
to whom you made reference as "true social conservatives" on some issues? Other than that
I too, am at a loss. BTW, I am big fans of Brewer, Christie & Rubio!

Oops: Meant to say, am a big fan of Brewer, Christie & Rubio! Guess I need some
more caffeine in my system!

That's OK! I need my coffee in the AM too.

If Corporations don't really pay income taxes- but instead pass it on to consumers- if a particular corporation pays little or no income tax (and there are many of them) could it then be possible that they are just using the statutory rate instead of their actual rate as an excuse to raise prices and outsource jobs overseas?- Obama's Solution to High Taxes: Even Higher Taxes

Dear Comrade Roy,

To paraphrase the movie Billy Madison, I think we are all a little dumber for having...
