		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;How, then, should conservative intellectuals behave during such an era as this, when the blunders of the Bush administration and the idiocies of the McCain campaign have convinced many Americans that conservatism is wrong?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The sensible thing to do would be to recognise that Bush and McCain are liberals and that this has been a massive factor of both men&#039;s failure. This is the real challenge for conservatives, some of whom would rather die than relinquish their gloopy sentimentalism for their Daddy Bush - that Truman-JFK old-liberal hero.</description>

		<description>Sometimes the hardest thing to convince a liberal of is the fact that they are liberal. I often will throw out to somebody who mentions they vote Democrat that I didn&#039;t know they were liberal. Often I get a couple of quick blinks followed by a denial. 
If you vote Democrat you are a liberal- simple.</description>
