But even so, will the "real conservative" please stand up? These labels are worse then useless. Maybe they meant something in simpler times, but they have been so spun and bastardized that there is no semblance of useful meaning left. You could accuse me of having "conservative" and "liberal" tendencies, but what possible value does that yield? Look at the Democrats and how their bought-and-paid-for rulership deviates from it's rank and file for a perfect example of how people are lining up behind "false labels" Yes, we surely need to vote the crooked SOB's out of Washington, but if we don't fix the underlying information system and election process, we'll only wind up with different talking heads saying the same things. For openers, people who are elected into office must take an oath not to enrich themselves or their friends with the power we're granting them. People who represent us need to live with us, not in cloistered Washington surrounded by lobbyists. Monopolies and special interests be damned in the land of the free. We have the technology to implement real democracy, do it! The will of the people cannot be worse then the position we're in today.
