Cloudy Fortunes for Conservatism

[Xiahou]

Compared to Huckabee and McCain?

I think what he meant was: Look how popular Ron Paul is- for a complete kook.

Much of what he says is just plain zany, but like him regardless because of his small-government ideals.

The old joke goes that the Democrats want to run the country over a cliff at 60 mph, but the Republicans only want to go 40mph. Since Nixon we have all been going 55mph.

In the 1970s the Democrats abandoned any conservative ideals. Now the Republicans are pretty much doing the same.

Personally I don’t see anything liberal about the Dems or conservative about the Reps, just two sides to the same coin with TV acting as Kingmaker.

So true.
