OT Fatcat = very wealthy individual who is likely to benefit from the party which has favored wealth for most of the 20th century; Ayatollah = a religious conservative who places the law of his/her god above the value of the American experience and seeks to make American synonomous with his/her religion; Bigot = people who were Democrats from 1865 to 1965 because Lincoln was a Republican and have been Republican since 1965 because Johnson (Civil Rights legislation and enforcement) was a Democrat; people who ban inter-racial dating, think the stars and bars represented a noble cause that should be remembered and honored, can't cope with treating gays and lesbians with respect and decency, and think Spanish is anti-American. I think these groups are solidly Republican. I will apologize, but to whom? I believe the windmills Cheney doesn't fight is the Republican party. I haven't addressed your "fiscally conservative" comment. At one time, I was younger, a fiscal conservative, and a Reagan supporter. I stopped when I came to believe that Republicans are only "fiscally conservative" because it usually benefits themselves and their cronies. In California, they went so far as to close institutions and put mentally ill people out in the streets, all the while claiming it was in their interests. Bush calls himself a "compassionate conservative." The most generous interpretation I can give is he wishes to distance himself from the traditional compassionless, conservative Republican. My personal belief is that it is an oxymoron.
