My template is easy to use during the Neo-Con Congress era. Example, __________ , has her sound bytes in the news, and the MSJ even had an article by her a couple months ago. And if you listen or read the sound bytes you may think she is a conservative. But you rarely see her votes published in the media (sometime the daily paper mentions the big votes). So the public is un-aware of how ___________ votes.
Just trying to do my part.

I don’t think it is price control, it is in the Constitution. The tarrif can be more or less, that is for Congress to decide. But what it would do, is Reduce the size of Government and increase the production of products in America. The government is not setting the ‘price’ as there is no tarrif on the US made car. and there is no ‘price’ on the foreign car, they can set the price, we set the tarrif.

It’s not for me to say what’s “wrong” with that scenerio, but wouldn’t that be like a price control, which requires government regulation? It isn’t a free market if the government sets the price.

I like to think Conservatives support the Constittution, in the Constitution, we are allowed tarrifs, this should be the way the Federal Government finances things, not taxes.
Is that Conservative? whats wrong with saying, if it cost 20,000$ to make an ‘X’ car in America and another country can make an ‘X’ car for 15,000$, lets charge them 5,000$ import tarrif and then let the Free Market decide which car we buy..

I didn’t say they were, Mickey. But I think it’s pretty clear that these three Republicans are conservative, at least in comparison to the old guard Democrats. There are also several different types of conservatives: fiscal, social, neo, paleo and others. For instance, the anti-free-trade policies you espouse are not “conservative” in a free-market sense.

So… nice comment. I like how you make minor little changes to the template from time to time, but I wish it were a little more varied than this:

________ is not conservative! _______ voted for the _______________ omnibus appropriations bill, which cost $____ and makes _______ NOT A CONSERVATIVE!!!

Republican and Conservative are not synonyms.
