Conservatives ARE the assholes who lived off credit. They're the ones who borrowed money and spent it like it was going out of style on crap like Star Wars and the Iraq war. They caused the storm that we now have to weather.

I'm going to suggest that we then change the word because there a number of fiscally conservative people that didn't live off credit. The only credit they live off of are the known 2 of house and education. I know many "conservative" companies that believe in leveraging credit as a fiscally sound policy. Many including myself don't find that a conservative value at all.
Again, I believe that's why many of the conservatives broke the GOP ranks and voted for Mr. Obama because the GOP was proving to not be conservative. GOP does not in my mind equal conservative, while they may have more conservative or had conservative values, they no longer seem to.
I don't believe that the assholes that I'm speaking of are the same assholes you are, since most of my democrat friends are in binds now because they leveraged their equity and used the house as an ATM and their credit cards to live a lifestyle they could not afford.
