1. Republicans are now the biggest socialsts ever, as far as banking is concerned. Not exactly "conservative" _____ MEGA LOL at "republicans believe in no government intervention".... where did that $700 Billion go?
2. Republicans believe in no government intervention and detest "big brother". They are for free enterprise and individualism. That is a conservative outlook because they don't believe the government has a right to overtax it's people thus 'conservative'. Democrats are socialistic and love big government and big brother.
3. Republican is a political party,.....Conservative is a way of thinking...You can have conservative Democrats or Republicans... Conservatism means having traditional views or values which translates to mean more reserved and moral.
4. Conservative holds to conservative ideals. Republican can have only conservative to liberals ideals.
5. Conservatives believe in not wasting tax payers money, a market economy. Some Republicans have become corrupt and ruined their party's name which once once stood for "Conservative." Conservatives also believe in rights of the Constitution which set up the United States for economic Growth in the fact that government should not intervene in private markets. That is why you saw 2/3 republicans vote against the bailout and 1/3 democrats vote against it. But once corruption got involved, the bill somehow passed even though it was against the people's will. 2/3 Conservative Republicans did not drink the Koolaid. Republican is a political party, Conservative is a view on fiscal policy. Just like Democrat is a party, liberal is a monetary policy(more gov spending). Conservative means that the government does not waste money and spend less money than they make at the same time does make more money than they spend. There is a difference in those two phrases. So not all Democrats are liberal and not all Republicans are Conservative. George Bush would be more of a Liberal Republican. Ronald Reagan is more of Conservative Republican. John McCain falls closer to a Conservative on his fiscal policy.
