Bungalow Bill's Constitutional Wisdom? A Name Change in the Works?

I am considering a name change. The GOP has moved to far to the left and they have hijacked the name conservatism. Just the other day, I had to hear my own Congressman, Billy Long, who ran on a platform of being "fed up" say Mitt Romney is the only conservative in the race.



Conservative? Well if being a tax and spend liberal who grew government, supported abortion and gun control, and then launched the pilot program for Obamacare is conservative, then I am definitely no longer a conservative.

Of course that description above is not conservative, but Republicans are desperate to beat Obama and they continue to fail to vet their candidates while shutting out the conservative and libertarian base, something Ronald Reagan said was important to the party. In doing so, they are redefining the word conservative, and I would go as far as claiming killing off the Reagan conservative image of the party with their new definition.

So if Romney is what it means to be conservative, considering his past that is comparable to Ted Kennedy from meddling in state run healthcare programs to being a passionate abortion rights supporter, it will be impossible for me to identify with these new conservatives (liberals). A name change may be in order.
