According to the dictionary a conservative is a person who believes in traditon and social stability. In other words the status quo. They resist change and especially change that involves government regulation and change that interferes with profits of the corporations that support their election and re-election to the Congress and the Senate. This should be exposed. They are not "true conservatives". They are reactionary and obstructive. They are not fulfilling and living up to their oath of office to "protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" or passing legislation to benefit the "general welfare" of all of the citizens of the United States, not just Exxon/Mobile, Halburton/KBR, BP, Texaco, Shell etc. Taxes and government regulation are not evil. Corporate control of the government is the problem. When will the people wake and rise up against the reactionaries who are not representing them?
