For decades the corporately owned media have been altering the meaning of the word "liberal" and the name, "Democrat". It is time we began an honest and accurate accounting of what it means to be a conservative, or a Republican.
It costs too much to be a Republican these days.
It costs ones integrity. After all the lies and other deceptions Republican leaders and pundits have played on the voting public to hide their own failings by projecting those same failings, and others, unjustifiably on their political foes, what thinking, rather educated American trusts a Republican?
Being a Republican costs ones relationship with truth and reality. Republicans no longer stand for a balanced budget and accountability, for anything, while in office. The history of the Bush years, for example, are spiked with economy killing deficits derived from a trillion-dollar tax cut to rich Americans who did not need such a tax cut (and who used this trillion dollars mostly for selfish ends), and by an unjustified war for the control of the price of oil, in Iraq (mission unaccomplished).
Being a Republican costs ones reputation with people who engage life more responsibly, and otherwise morally. Anybody but a Republican might be expected these days to at least know what the right thing to do is; Republicans seem to be busy inventing their own reality, their own reasoning processes and systems, to pretend that they are addressing the problems, or can address the problems, that they not so long ago denied even existed: particularly those problems caused by Republicans.
Being a Republican these days causes one to deny what one is doing, and not doing. It causes one to live a lie that erodes the substance of the self, which was so much the motivation when deciding to become a Republican.
This is an irony not even Republicans can afford.

you democrats want to take away freedom of choice, freedom of speech, freedom of self-defense, jobs, futures, public safety, retirement savings, and replace those things with higher taxes, less freedom, less choices, a public draft, budget deficits, and total government control.
you democrats would rather give a job to an illegal immigrant than an American that has paid taxes their whole life, you would rather tax success, than encourage it, you would rather blame the person behind you, than help those in front of you, you would rather give hand-outs rather than giving hand-ups, if this is you, than you’re a democrat.
before you trash the republican party, look at history, or rather look at the present, look at what your president has gone in less than a year, like tripled the deficit, wasted trillions on bills that didn’t work, and raise taxes. if you’d like to know the truth, fallow the link of my name and read some truth, I love debating with people, because I’m always right.
You have your facts wrong. And you are not entitled to your own facts, except with regard to your right to fantasize.
