So I take it massive spending and massive debt are good conservative principals? Isn't that the very "big govt" conservatives claim to be a liberal principal? If you do your homework you will find that most reforms, often attributed to Reagan, were actually begun under Carter. Remember unemployment reaching almost 11% two years into his term? Raised Social security taxes and the instigator of borrowing from, and jeopordizing, the social security trust fund.
I actually voted for Reagan his first term. Then voted against him his second when I saw what he was all about. A mindless puppet in my opinion who screwed the middle class.

"As a conservative, I drive small, fuel efficient cars. I try to raise as much of my own food as possible. I plant a lot of trees for future generations. I don't believe anyone needs a salary of more than $1 million. I don't discuss my sex life, and I don't want to hear about any one else's, either. I believe global warming/cooling is caused by natural cycles. As a human race, we need to live a lightly as possible on the land, but I believe that there is a tremendous amount of public energy being wasted on the debate over global warming. Make the debate about simply being kinder to the earth and I'll buy into it."

So much in there that will earn you the liberal tag.
