    I've explained this to some of you repeatedly, despite your mock outrage: "Conservative" and "liberal" also are relative terms in addition to being descriptors of the political spectrum. Simply because a person is not as conservative as you doesn't mean that person isn't a conservative.

      Although I find it interesting that you equate wealth with conservatism. I wonder why that is?
      Because there's a branch of Conservativism that is pro-business?

        A lot of liberals are pro-business, too.

          And in that, they are probably not "liberal;" hence, the popular tendency towards hyphenation: fiscally (or even economically)-conservative but socially-liberal.

              Or true conservatives. Try not to poke your own eye out with that stick.

              Again, there are people who are still conservative who are nevertheless not as conservative as you.

                    I agree. It should be rewritten thusly:

                    I that in my opinion I think that I guess monetary donations have dried up now that donors realize that they will neither get back nor receive in turn any quid pro quo in return.

                      It makes no sense to call Rahm Emmanuel a conservative though, just because he opposes liberals on a couple of issues.
                      "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

                      There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

                          And it makes no sense to stuff him into the totally-a-dirty-liberal box if he is fiscally conservative to the point of undercutting city pensions and economically conservative enough that he actively opposes unions; however, I'm not just trying to be pedantic, and I do get what you're trying to say. This is T-web; therefore, social conservative causes tend to be weighted more than other forms of conservativism.

                              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                                That's a yupification. It was for emphasis.
