The addition of liberal is meant to appeal to a particular demographic. I don't think liberal is a bad word to everyone, just those that think of themselves as "conservatives" I'm a proud social liberal - I want the gov't in a little of our lives as possible. But I'm also a proud fiscal conservative - I want a small federal gov't, and low taxes. Put another way, I'm part of the libertarian wing of the Republican party; the old wing. The new wing is the George Bush catholic-inspired social activist party. This is the side that raises gov't spending to contribute to AIDS in Africa while also preventing Gays from marrying. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:215831 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
