‘Tea Party’ Conservatives

October 14, 2015 · 0 Comments

I am a Senior and I have voted conservative most of my life, and I would vote conservative again this year if there were a conservative party running, but there is not.

The so-called conservatives are really Tea Party in conservative costumes, and I disagree on too many of their actions over the past few years to be taken in by their ads.
The clincher is in the secrecy and closure of the government to criticism from the press and public.

I am voting Liberal for the first time.
