Sorry but those are not my words.
Conservatives want:
Strong military - Yes - and pay for it
Smaller govt - on social programs, handouts and pork
Less regulation - Not no regulation. Business are often taxed and regulated to death
Moral- Yes we dont need the govt to be legislating immoral policies (or at least controversial policies where 1/2 the population thinks its wrong). We want govt that is more neutral with some sense of right and wrong. The founding father believed this and we should too.
