They've done precious little "conservative" in regards to fiscal policy. They've done nothing "conservative" since invading Iraq in regards to foreign policy. I still think it was the correct thing to do to go after the Taliban in Afghanistan.

I'm not even a democrat. Never have been. Funny. I'm one of the most conservative people in my group of friends.

Six years ago you would probably have been right. But I think people are so absolutely disgusted with the bunch of rich white guys that are currently in charge that they would have no problem electing someone not in the club. Besides, Bill Clinton could win the presidency again in a second; Hillary will certainly benefit from Bill’s popularity.

First of all, Thomas is just doing her job, you know, freedom of the press, first amendment and all that, and second, the idea that Snow could teach Thomas anything is ludicrous.
