I'm not that conservative. I do feel - I guess I'm more of a Democrat at heart, although I've never affiliated myself with a particular party.

Our two major parties are actually called the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party.

Everybody who is a Republican wants to call themselves conservative even if they don't necessarily vote that way.

The Republican Party is a much bigger tent than people give it credit for. We have a lot of what I guess you all call moderate Republicans.

I'm not really conservative. I'm conservative on certain things. I believe in less government. I believe in fiscal responsibility and all those things that maybe Republicans used to believe in but don't any more.

Today it is evident that we have two political parties: the Tax and Spenders and the No-Tax and Spenders. Neither party is fiscally conservative. Is there no room at the inn for an honest conservative? A conservative who makes the case for smaller government on its merits and not just as the fallback option when fiscal bankruptcy threatens?

The Republican Party has become overwhelmingly so extreme that it's hardly a traditional political party anymore.

There is a new conservative establishment in America, made up of those who claim to be the anti-establishment.

There are libertarian conservatives, fiscal conservatives, and social conservatives. I feel conservative in terms of limited government, individual responsibility, self-sufficiency - that sort of thing.

A conservative is someone who believes in reform. But not now.
