I understand completly. You are a conservative. But what meaning of conservative are you refering to? Many who use the word conservative simply mean republican. If you are saying you will simply vote republican, what value does your vote represent?
Conservatism: Favoring traditional views and values; tending to oppose change. Is this what you mean? If this is so....the republicans might not always be conservative. I had a post long ago about the meaning of the word conservative, and how the meaning of the word has changed. (
What does conservative REALLY mean?).
