Today's 'conservative movement' in the U.S. is NOT conservative, but crass money politics. The other night, I watched an interview with Mexican President Calderon, and he is a true conservative, the kind we used to have in the US-- a serious, sober analytical mind that, although is pro-business, puts overriding country problems first, even if his solution is against his ideology.
Most incumbent candidates of the major political parties here got voted in by only being 'winners', instead of being most qualified to solve the nation's problems. And 'winning' is a sorry reason for 'success'.
I don't know why we can't all wake up to this fact before money politics totally regresses this country into a black hole.
