I'm sure that some people do change for such self motivated reasons but you said "the only reason". Many libertarians and conservatives are motivated by idealistic reasons or by pragmatic reasons for the country as a whole, not solely for personal benefit. Well, it seems until recently, they have been fairly quiet about their principles. JF has pointed out that as a conservative, he sees considerable divergence from conservative principles and what's espoused by this White House. And since he spoken out, I've seen that American Conservative magazine is taking stances that is in direct conflict with this WH. All I can say is that its about time. 1 - Conservatives disagreeing with this administration or other Republican administrations isn't a new thing that didn't exist until very recently. The disagreements where muted a bit after 9/11 but that was over 2 and 1/2 years ago and even when they where muted they didn't go away. If that's true, their objections have been fairly muted. ted
