And the minute a Conservative loses his or her job and benefits, you'll see another Democrat
I think you're playing loose with the word "Conservative".
It's more like "And the minute a neo-con loses his or her job and benefits, you'll see another Democrat"
Sadly, my working definitions of Republican and Democrat follow. A Republican is oblivious to problems:
"Problem? What problem?' On the other hand, a Democrat has never seen a problem that a program can't fix,
and the program then leads to a bureacracy.
The better sort of political leaders on both sides are aware of the problems and seek efficient ways of dealing with them.
