The Reality of Conservatives

Luntz is a reliable pollster, so his definitions are far more accurate than the Lefty-held stereotype.

...Luntz believes polls are beginning to show that conservatives are less concerned about "large government, small citizens" theory than about practical measures to ensure increased accountability, so that whatever is spent on government will give demonstrable bang for the buck.

 ...Liberals are confusing Wall Street with Main Street.  Conservatives are more enamored of the free market than of abstract "capitalism," and would happily see some of the miscreants in the housing market scandal strung up by their thumbs (though they may disagree about who the miscreants are).

...most conservatives want to preserve [SocSec and Medicare], but believe they'll collapse altogether without reform.  Conservatives are also much more likely to believe that reforms based on individual choice and market competition will be broadly benign in their results

Naturally, the comments following Luntz' piece at the WaPo reflect the acute intellectual prowess of the Left (read them at the link).
