Someone who fights for the cause of conservatism with as much energy and obnoxiousness as he has fought for liberalism? Who doesn't care about anything but succeeding? No, there isn't, and I'll tell you why. Liberals like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank and Bar-hack Obama and all of their ilk are hard-core Machiavellians. "The end justifies the means." They don't care how they get what they want as long as they get it. And that is because liberals have no ethical core. Conservatives are, almost by definition, too honorable to resort to such tactics. To lie and cheat and misrepresent and spread hatefulness is simply not a part of the conservative ethical core, and is a foreign and repugnant concept. The liberal icon Saul Alinsky ("Rules for Radicals") was himself a worshiper of Machiavelli ("The Prince"), but he magnified Machiavelli ten times. And Democrats have learned the style and practice it every day. I guess this was sort-of a digression from the topic. But it's something I have needed to say for a long time.
