re: #291 Lidane

this ties in with very few interesting, thoughtful and independent Conservatives appearing on television.

It seems to me that to be on television one has to be a “total package” conservative or as i call them “media-cons”…

Against Gay Marriage
ProLife (unless its the death penalty)
Reflexively anti-immigrant
Pro Healthcare reform - as long as it starts - and narely ends - with Tort.
Pro gun.
For attacking Iran
Pro torture
For “simplyfying the tax code” - as long as the rich get to keep their complicated accountant required tax breaks/

It’s all homogenous. It’s group think. People see Conservatives like those on the teevee box and believe thats what they have to be to consider themselves Conservative.

You get a better fight on the Issues from two Democrats on television than you do from any one Conservative and Democrat.
