    I believe I am such a voter. And I believe that we should judge people by their character as individuals rather than putting them in groups. Saying all Conservatives are racist, is no different from saying all Blacks steal. I believe innocent until proven guilty. I believe my volunteering to teach single parent minority children how to repair a/c and heating systems is a great program. I believe the reason so many Black people are in jail, is primarily due to so many being criminals. And then I ask, why is that. And I conclude that a major reason is because they don’t have other options. Then I thought, how can I help that problem. I’m teaching them that being independent of government aid, is the greatest form of freedom on earth. That help?

    Someone who is Christian, and spends money based on a realistic budget , who doesn't want to great debt but who wants to eliminate debt...Someone who understands you have to spend less than you make, even if that means not helping everyone right away.

    A DECENT politician/voter - either conservative or liberal - is one who doesn't ascribe evil motives or hatred to people with differing opinions.

    We can disagree without the constant name calling, which just stifles honest debates and prevents reaching consensus or compromise.

    Constitutional Conservatives support Responsible legislators who create laws that can return Liberty and Constitutional Rights as well as freedom of choice to Responsible Citizens while reducing the Size and Power of the Federal Government.

    Rights apply to All Responsible Citizens and must be granted equally, along with equal justice and equal opportunity without regard to race, sex, religion or ethnicity.

    Hmmm... someone who has a mind of their own, isn't afraid to go against the mainstream, has a moral compass, is in touch with Americans, knows what the issues are (as oppose to trying to create artificial issues and make people believe them), protects freedoms, cares about their communities, and loves America. Mind you not all conservative politicians and voters are 'decent', but these are some qualities of those who are.
