No…conservative.

Umm no, conservatives are a minority of the GOP. Otherwise they would cut spending and shrink government when they have power.

The No True Scotsman argument is old and boring.

It’s not a no true Scotsman argument, Republican and conservative are not synonyms. That’s like saying an Irishman did something and someone saying they aren’t Scotsman is a no true Scotsman argument.

I think Mark Levin would disagree with that statement. Conservatives labeling everything to their left as progressive or communist is also boring.

Indeed it is.

If I was doing that, I would agree.

I didn’t mention anyone by name. You (c) did.
