The Conservatives List

As most of you dear readers know by now, I'm a supporter of Sen. Barack Obama for president. As such, I'm not known for being a conservative person (politically, anyway; theologically is another story). But that doesn't mean I don't like them, that I'm not friends with them (you have to in the LCMS), I don't get along with them, or think they have no valid ideas. We just happen to have different views on the size and scope of government. Oh yeah, I should note that I am using the classical definitions of "conservative" and "liberal". Here's a basic working definition:

Conservative: Favors a smaller government.
Liberal: Wants a bigger government.

Oversimplified? Sure. But that's my definition. Live with it.

Anyway, in the interest of fairness during this election season, here's a list of my favorite self-identified conservatives. Some are celebs, some are friends. You can probably guess who is whom. As always, this list is in no particular order.

1. Dennis Miller
2. Rev. David Daniel
3. Pat Sajak
4. Drew Carey
5. Mike Albers
6. Jack Kemp (he was QB for the Buffalo Bills, after all!)
7. John Parker
8. PJ O'Rourke
9. Angelo Torres
10. Peter List
Please note: These are conservatives, not necessarily Republicans.
