Out of how many members? And at least one of these conservatives is in the wind.
We should really be told what kind of conservatives they are:
Fiscal Conservatives
Family Values Conservatives
Social Conservatives
TheoConservatives
NeoConservatives
PaleoConservatives
2nd Amendment Conservatives
Beltway Conservatives
Corporate Conservatives
Rich*Conservatives
Libertarian Conservatives
So many one-issue minds, so few true believers in this Republic and it's Constitution.

*not necessarily fiscally conservative unless it benefits them directly
Check the "Usergroups" tab at the top of A2K.
Most of the general A2K population don't belong to any specific user groups. There are 69 Liberals, if you go by that list. I don't know how many of them are still around. The group leader certainly isn't.
why not cut the horseshit?
The vast majority of us are liberal where it comes to getting what we like and conservative where it comes to granting what we don't.
That's the bottom line.
Different goals, same game.
You need to revise that number of liberals downward, Miss Duck. I was looking at the user groups, and it stated that i was a member of the "liberal" group, and offered an option to "unsubscribe." I don't recall that i ever joined such a group, although i once did receive a PM inviting me to join "PUP." I rather suspect that someone included my name in that list without my prior knowledge or consent.
I don't join, i'm not a joiner. I once joined the Army--that cured for life of being a joiner.
Yeah, I saw quite a few people on there who aren't even around anymore. If I recall correctly, those groups correspond to the debate "room". Sometimes you have to join a group to participate on those debate threads. I'm a member of conservatives because I joined a discussion about health care that was in the conservatives group. It doesn't mean anything.

I heard that **** big dawg....
S'truth, Bear . . . i just don't join . . . either someone signed me up without my knowledge and consent, or i posted in a thread without knowing i'd be sucked in. I recieved an invitation to join one of those groups, and i ignored it.
This has nothing to do with political views. In some things, i'm more conservative than many of y'all. In many, many other things, i'm way to left of the "liberals" around here.
I'm exactly the same way in my views but since I despise the war and bush I'm a left wing liberal...1000%... and tha's that apparently.
Yer a commie homo-sexual faggot, too, ain'tcha?
don't flirt in front of everyone....

Just to be clear here, I was invited to join the conservatives group and accepted that invite. It might not be obvious by the way I worded this post.
Nimh, sozobe and I are conservatives as well.

And that would make me....let's see....figuring for the overall shift to the right in the political spectrum, allowing for windage and elevation, and adding a bit of yaw for the hell of it...I come up with Albert Speer.
Hmmm...well that's not too bad I suppose.
You'll rot in hell for that one.
And now a serious word or two from David Brooks regarding just how lost the conservatives are presently and, more importantly, why.
