Adjectives like conservative and liberal mean different things to different people anyway. I consider myself a "conservative-leaning moderate", but one whose faith in conservative government has been so shaken by the arrogance and incompetence of the Bush team that I would vote for a Clinton/Obama ticket in the next election if W were running again them. I'm still a resistered Republican, but in the last election I voted straight Democrat except where the only candidates were a Republican and a Libertarian, in which case I voted for the Libertarian. The Republican party under the incompetent Bush government no longer represents the views of the average American, and we communicated this to him with their votes in the last election. The sad thing about this is that most of the people who voted for Democrats, like me, are really more conservative than liberal.
