When will Republicans come up with a better word than "fiscal conservative"?
Most of them have no intention of being fiscally prudent, or meaningfully streamlining government, etc.

So it's really, really disingenuous of them to continue, in 2010, after supporting Reagan and the Bush Crime Family-the kings of deficit spending-to use the term "fiscal conservative."

The most fiscally conservative President we've had in recent years was a Democrat-Bill Clinton. And the only really fiscally conservative Republicans in Congress, pretty much, are the nuts like Ron Paul.

1. Not until they have to
Seems like most of the public stills buys this BS, so why fix it?

2. I heard one of their think tanks was floating a trial balloon of
"Freedom loving master" to see how that works.

Thanks for the thread, Ardent.
