When conservatives talk to one another, pay attention: they say what they want to do, and mean it. And will do just about anything to get there - even, or especially, claiming that they don't want to do the thing they want to do, until the time is ripe, and they can do it.

The essence of the conservative message should be we want a dynamic nation where anybody with nothing can achieve anything.
