You have not been listening John.  I don't know how many ways to slice and
dice this issue for you to make it easier for you to understand.  I have
equal distain for both parties.  I can't have such feelings if I know nothing
about them.

John, you can write more words than the complete works of Stephen King on
why liberals are so bad, but you can't put one sentence together to explain
what is so good about conservatives or conservatism.  I don't care about
'the next guy in line'.  I'm asking you.  Put a human face on conservatism
for me.  Don't make me think that the only thing that conservatives have
going for them is that they arn't liberal.

I'm going to have to go with a big fat "That's your opinion" to that, as I
certainly have not seen that to be the case.  If there's one truism about
the conservative party, it's that you had better tow the party line or else.
A certain John Wilson might agree with me.  But hey, feel free to prove me
wrong.

A platform is just words until it is made in to action.  Show me why the
GOPs is better than the DEMs.
