“Conservatives” Are Single-Largest Ideological Group
Largest or not I don't see the point? You still need other groups in most elections to win.

That is correct and when a true conservative is running, these other groups vote for the conservative.
AH, but as my generation and the next take hold you will see a complete rejection of the apathy, intolerance and status quo that has been a conservative staple since the birth of politics.

This is where you are totally wrong.
In the majority of elections where a true conservative is running, the true conservative will win. This is a fact. Unfortunately, the most recent strategy of the GOP is to put up RINO candidates which obviously has not worked. More people consider themselves conservative than liberal.

You're assuming they'll vote for Palin though when many conservative don't consider her a true conservative
and true conservatives do not always get the majority of those votes.

Conservatives depend on a combination of anti ( ) groups, but slowly these groups
are repelling eachother

Hey your ex BFF Bush was not a conservative according to your current recollection and he won twice.

You keep throwing the term "True Conservative" around. I am curious how you define what a "True Conservative" is.
I don't believe that is an accurate statement.
No, not always but the majority of times they do.

Sorry, I just had to laugh.
First, the conservative trend is going up over the past few years and those calling themselves liberal has been going down.
Look, your exact words were spewed when Carter got elected and then thankfully we had the Reagan Revolution.
The way Obama is destroying things, he is becoming another Carter. Obama is another lame ass President like Carter who has no idea what he stands for, what America stands for and he has no clue about running a country. Sorry, but this is going to bring another conservative revolution.

What on Earth are you talking about? What groups?

So? The GOP is down in the polls, if there is anytime for this outcome to not go with "the majority" of the time then it's now.

Again, this is because the strategy was to let RINO's run for office instead of true conservatives. Once this trend is reversed, things will change. Hopefully, if this thread comes true and Palin becomes the chairmen, things will change again for the better.

Of course Bush was not a conservative. So what? What's your point?
Look who Bush was running against. Gore and Kerry. Two of the most stupid, idiotic and extreme leftist politicians on the planet except for maybe Obama. Bush won because against those two losers, Bush looked like the poster child for conservatism.
Apparently you are young, so once you get out into the world and start experiencing the REAL world with taxes taken from you and lazy ass people who want your stuff for free, you will slowly come around to the conservative side. It happens this way the majority of times.
They don't think homo's should be allowed to get married.
gay unions are fine.
Besides, I guess you did not hear that most Americans feel the same way which is why of all places California voters rejected gay marriage proposals twice.

But I recall YOU WHAT THEORY defending Bush like he was your main man...
I doubt I will ever become conservative because of my love for science, as long as there are two strong factions of the GOP disputing climatology, archeology, anthropology, genetics and like it can never happen. That is what I meant by anti groups...
