Do you think the conservative right wing is dead?

It has been seen in American politics that both parties' popularity grows and shrinks over the course of time. This has to do with a large percentage of Americans who do not side with a particular ideology and tend to sway back and forth depending on the issue or the candidates.\n\nNeither party or ideology will ever be "dead" as long as there are solid cores of believers to maintain their values.

Good question!  I'm not sure, but it would seem that liberals are taking over the Democratic party and making it too far left for most conservative people that are still Democrats and many Republicans have taken a far right stance because it's becoming predominantly conservative and moral.  It's not a good reflection of either party too far either way and it's sad.

I do.They have gone too far with their latest cock-ups, lost respect of the peeps and been in power too long. Unfortunately it happens to all political parties (remember Mags Thatcher's conservatives, she and her cronies went the same way!) We need a change soon now to bring back the balance.

I honestly don't think they're very compassionate.  As far as being conservatives,  I really don't think they are all that conservative either.  They want votes, and there are a lot of liberal ideas on the table right now.  Basically, they're full of crap

America has lost its way. Ultra right wing anti liberal views anger your friends. Minimum wage and food, shelter, clothing and medical care are "christian values". I'm Canadian and we are as close to friends as you have in the world and we can see how ridiculously right wing America has become. Shame.

Excellent question! \n\nI remember when the word 'conservative' referred to the far right of the Republican party. And there were liberals in both parties. Then in the 90s this begin to change with the entire Republican party moving to the right.\n\nIf you didn't move to the right then you were pushed out basically. I'd say this transformation occurred during the Newt Gingrich era. I actually used to be a Republican but I am very liberal when it comes to the rights of others. IE, gay marriage, discrimination, etc... I first moved independent then finally ended up completely democrat. There just isn't any place for me in the Republican party any longer. They carry too many biased prejudices; but even more than that, my liberal way of thinking can't accept their somehow literally believing they have the RIGHT to dictate to others how to live.\n\nAnyways, good question and hope that helps. Basically there are no liberal republicans any longer. There are the conservatives who are to the right then there are the neocons which are far right extremist.

Am I concerned?  Very much so.  The other day I saw Rudy Giuliani on TV talking about God in an evangelical church.  Rudy Giuliani!  I was sick to my stomach for about 5 minutes.  It was much easier to look at the pictures of the couple that got bit by bed bugs that they keep showing on TV.  \n\nDo I think it will happen?  No.  The Republican Party is going to lose much of its moderate base if they keep this crap up.  I think that mainstream America is beginning to wake up to the real issues and understand that fundamentalists shouldn't be legislating our morals.

Isn't cool and Conservative in the same sentence somehow wrong. Especially these days when they are down to 37%

Actually, I think the neocons bolted, making way for REAL conservatives to again have an audible voice in their party...

I believe your hypothesis is flawed. Do you watch the news, read the newspaper, read blogs, political books,etc? Yep, you must believe what you are hearing. Where do you live? Do you think that the news might be biased where you are? When have you last heard a BBC newscast, or watched Al-Jazzerah? \nWhat is your definition of Progressive? If it is the Teddy Roosevelt definition, then you adhere to a more classical conservative approach. If you are comparing yourself to modern liberals, then you just need to call yourself that.\nU.S. politics is not divided, just people don't care about the close similarities they share. Even most Political Scientists believe there is an increased volatility in the world democracies, but they ain't asking the right questions. \nInstead of trying to label yourself, why not ask yourself why you believe what you do, and how important those beliefs are.\nIf your definition is hoping for change, then no, conservatives and pregressives are exactly the same. why do you believe conservatives don't question thier leaders? Who do you think are conservatives leaders anyway? Do you think people currently in elected positions are conservative?\nI am not trying to be insulting, just when labels start getting thrown around, it narrows the scope of a question beyond any redeemable answer, and just becomes an opportunity to posture. If you really want to find answers, open up a bit more.

I think we all know it is broken. Liberals and Conservatives are equally to blame.

It's still a possibility in the US, I don't put anything past Bush and his goons. \n\nHe may be down, but not out.  Out for those bums mean death.  \n\nI'm sure as we speak they are planning their next move - who is the next most puppet-like fratboy who obeys his pappy's friends who can relate to the Republican constituents (read that redneck, inbred, trailer park, impressionable, reccessive imbeciles) without question.

liberal conservative?

We are seeing them implode now. I am just wonderng what crazy thing they will try to do next in their frantic attempts to hold on to power.   i am thinking the Neocons are deeply wounded but the remain capable of still doing harm. \n\nAlready they are not above lying, stealing, threats of intimidation and bullying ...not to mention the cause of the deaths of many thousands of innocent people in other parts of the world. \n\nThis Neocon/Reug hybrid is still dangerous - but most Americans are tired of them.  I can't call an election this far out..especially with Diebold lying in wait.

I couldn't have said it better myself. You are so right. the Neo-Cons should be asamed of themselves for even using the term "conservative." Conservatism essentially means small government, which they clearly do not believe in, though they say they do. "Marriage = Man+Woman," they say. To coin a phrase... "Only a SITH deals in absoloutes."

Yes. Where shall we send them? Come up with something, quick! By the way, it's not conservatives. The conservative party has been hijacked by a bunch of paranoid, end times, suicide politicians who have been planning their takeover for years! \n\nhttp://www.thefourreasons.org/
