what is different between republican and conservative ?

[BULLDOG]

Did you know that one of the first "liberal" parties (classical liberalism) was actually QUITE conservative and believed in small government and less taxation? Also social liberties and freedoms. Isn't that fascinating?

You'll call me a liar, but I recall a time when republicans and democrats actually got along. They actually ACHIEVED things for this country because they all had one thing in common - fiscal responsibility and patriotism. So much for the "good old days".

That was just before Neut Gingrich and Tom Delay took control of the republican party. Things turned to shit with their unethical leadership of the GOP and have gone down hill since.

You know, if you want to be full of shit, that's your business. But please don't throw it around me. I ain't sniffing it.

I understand. You would prefer to keep your head in the sand. Only a little research on your part will show I'm right.

Not really fascinating since the lived in the era of the Monarchy, the absolute example of authoritarianism. What thinking person under such a government wouldn't want its power and influence reduced?

A Republican is one who is a member of the GOP. A conservative is a far right member of the GOP.

Conservatives are nuts. Some republicans actually have some sense.

Not even remotely accurate.

what is different between republican and conservative ?

The more a Republican lies, the more CON$ervative they are.

Hillary Clinton is no conservative republican

She'd be called a conservative in any other country.

I mean fascinating in the history of the parties, the original beliefs, how they've split, etc.

A Republican is one who is a member of the GOP. A conservative is a far right member of the GOP.

There are conservative Democrats.

And conservatives are right wing, not far right wing.

You are right about one thing. There WERE conservative democrats. Back in the 60s and early 70s. There are none now.

There are still a few in Kentucky and West Virginia.

Calling out the poster as full of shit is not a rebuttal, it's an ad hominem and thus a foolish comment without substance.

There are conservative Democrats.

And conservatives are right wing, not far right wing.

And to make the issue even more confusing, all conservatives are not conservative on all issues just as all liberals do not support all liberal causes. Although you wouldn't know it from reading USMB posts, many liberals and conservative, actually share the same beliefs.

Give credit where credit is due. Flagg is wrong this time, but nobody knows more about shit than he does, and his opinion should be heard. I would call him a shit expert.

what is different between republican and conservative ?

Seems to me the difference between "Republican" and "conservative" is essentially the same as "Democrat" and "progressive".

The "conservatives" and "progressives" are on the wings.

what is different between republican and conservative ?

A Republican is a member of a political party.

A conservative is on the right wing of the political belief spectrum.

Sometimes, there is overlap.

There is 100% overlap. Can you name one self proclaimed conservative who would ever vote Democratic?

Well, I voted for Clinton in 96. He seemed to do a good job, and he worked with Repubs (whether he wanted to or not doesn't matter. He did, and that's all that counts.) Voted for GHW Bush in 92, but everyone who voted for Perot may as well have just voted for Clinton in that election. Was pissed at all the Perot voters, but he wasn't the horrendous political evil that many Repubs claimed him to be.

To answer your question, Bulldog... I know of a BUNCH of "self-proclaimed" conservatives that wouldn't vote for a Democrat, BUT, if the Republican choice is a lemon, they don't vote for them either.
