I don't know, did George W. Bush not claim to be "Conservative"?  Does Lindsey Graham not claim to be "Conservative" every time he runs for re-election?

I don't give a damn what they claim.  I pay attention to what they do.  GWB did a lot of things.  Some things Conservative.  Other things not.  So instead of attacking the person, how about judging the action.

Is balancing the budget a good thing?  How about applying equal protection to the tax code?  Or abiding by the limitations placed on government by our Constitution?

If you are implying that I should vote for what a candidate does, rather than what he says, then I agree. I'm voting for the guy who cut government regulation, was willing to fight a trade war with China, and got Roe v. Wade overturned.

And that Trade War caused harm to the economy. Results should matter. Not intentions.

Trump is a believer in Modern Monetary Theory. What that is in a nutshell is the idea that since we own our currency, we can print the money we need to fund government with no ill effects. that hasn't worked out well in the real world as we can clearly see with inflation

Oh, wait, are they not "true Conservatives"? Like no true Scotsman, huh?

Moderates. Not Conservatives. You believe like a kid looking at the 'free candy' van.


NO, the Bushes are most certainly NOT conservatives. And neither is Lindsay. Neither is MurderTurdle. Moderates, all. They do their level best to destroy Conservatism in the Republican halls.

They are globalist, just like the Democrats. Just like Tumpy...

Balancing the budget would be a good thing. Elect a Congress that will do it.

Meanwhile, I'm voting for Trump because of many other good things he did while in office.

The money supply was also tightened in the 1980's

Today, government spending is being financed more and more with an expanding money supply


The Future of U.S. Money and Interest Rates
An economy’s money supply has a strong association with the currency’s purchasing power and inflation, although there are other factors at play. As the number of dollars in the economy increases, the amount of goods and services that can be bought with one dollar falls as price levels rise.

Due to the policy response during the pandemic, inflation has become a growing concern for investors and consumers alike. With money supply at unprecedented highs and interest rates near all-time lows, it’ll be interesting to see how long it takes for the U.S. economy to recover and rates to rise again.

I'm not a Conservative. Conservatism is a failed ideology.

Well that certainly explains things...are you sure you're on the right board?

What exactly are you then?

Yeah, we get it.  The buck never stops with Trump...heck it never even makes it to his desk apparently.

You got that right.  Trump has no power at all.  He has no ability to fix any of the things Democrats continue to do to us.  Yet somehow, it is absolutely crucial that we vote for him in order to save America.

Look how he buckled under Democrat pressure over this. Although a good part of why it was easy for him to do was because he does want to grow the size of the government, and this was standing in the way

We were told when he was president that Donald Trump couldn’t do anything about spending because he would have to fight with Democrats


We had a poster here tell us that Donald Trump had to run away from this because of the pressure put on him by Democrats and their attack ads

So it’s either Donald Trump buckles under Democrat pressure or he agrees with most of their fiscal and economic policies. I say it’s a little bit of both

During the midterm election of 1994, Republican candidates laid out their “Contract for America” for all to see and stuck behind it in the face of relentless media and Democratic Party attacks
