    No he isn't; and the notion that you deem speak for all Conservatives is laughable and stupid.

But I do think that I'm part of a long-standing conservative tradition that has to do with Edmund Burke ... and Alexander Hamilton."[46]"
    Who is doing the describing?

    None of them are what I would call Conservative. They are part of the DC swamp.

    He has been one for 40 years. He has been a respected voice of conservatism. He just cannot be silent about the clown in chief. Backing a crazy man was a step too far for the well known conservative to take.

    He has never been a conservative. He wants to liberally apply laws/policies. That is the very definition of what a liberal is.

    LIE and LAME; nothing suggests FAIL better than a leftist loons constructing strawmen then declaring them hypocrites.

    Equally amusing is the moronic notion that leftist loons can define who is or is not Conservative.
