Sorry, your idea of traditional conservative is just a little close too
the Robert Welch wing of the John Birch Society for my comfort. My idea
of traditional Republican would be in the Henry Cabot Lodge or Richard
Nixon part of the political spectrum. A traditional conservatives would
be a Goldwater or Kirkpatrick. McCain is somewhere in the middle, along
with Jack Kemp, et al. Romney, truth be known, is no more conservative
than McCain. (He does talk a great game, though.)
