| Introduction | Conservative Democrat Basic Description Conservative Democrats’ religious orientation and conservative views on many social and political issues set this group apart from the other Democratic-leaning groups, Liberals and Disadvantaged Democrats. Conservative Democrats’ views are moderate with respect to key policy issues such as foreign policy, regulation of the environment and the role of government in providing a social safety net. Our neutrality on assistance to the poor is linked, at least in part, to our belief in personal responsibility. Less extreme on moral beliefs than core Republican groups. No more conservative than the national average on other social issues such as abortion and stem-cell research. Most of us oppose the war in Iraq, but views of America’s overall foreign policy are mixed and we are less opposed to Bush’s assertive stance than are other Democratic groups. I'm the sort of guy who goes to church regularly but has a gun collection as well. I believe that I'm in control of my own destiny and people with talent or potential waste it very often and I will not fall to the same fate. |
