	Conservative Movement Will Survive GOP Defeat
		The 2006 elections were in fact a rejection of the spend-and-elect philosophy that characterized congressional Democrats for nearly 40 years while they were in power and then came to epitomize congressional Republicans in the latter part of their 12 years of rule.
		As David Keene of the American Conservative Union wrote, too many Republicans came to do good and stayed to do well for themselves, their families and their friends.
		True conservatives in Congress are now free to follow a principled path of opposition for the good of the country.

	Bush's Conservative Base Frets Key Issues Are Losing Focus - WSJ.com
		Conservatives are becoming more openly critical, adding to the president's woes and emboldening Democrats for battles ahead.
		Bush's speech, entitled "A Lifeless State of the Union," President Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, one of the nation's most active conservative groups opposing abortion and same-sex marriage, took note of the president's unbowed determination on the war, a subject which accounted for nearly half of his address to the new Democratic-led Congress.
		In fairness to the president, said the American Conservative Union's longtime chairman, David Keene, "most of the things he cared about getting done have either been done, or rejected." Moreover, he said, Mr.

	WorkingForChange-Conservative groups unite to slam Gore with mailers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The American Conservative Union (ACU), which claims to be "the oldest conservative lobbying organization," also launched a major campaign aimed at delivering "the full truth about Al Gore's central role in the 'Chinagate' scandal and his record of corruption and deception" to the American people.
		The ACU campaign accomplishes a double-whammy; by focusing on the ‘Three ‘C's’-- Gore's "crimes, corruption, and cover-ups" -- it individuates Gore, and it keeps the picture of Gore as Clinton's right-hand man for the past seven-plus years fresh in the minds of the faithful.
		During its 36-year history, the ACU has integrated grassroots activism with savvy direct mail appeals to build a respected conservative organization that evolved from a bunch of wacky outsiders to the powerful inside-the-beltway political movers and shakers that it is today.

		That's why the American Conservative Union disciplines Congressional Republicans by rating them according to their purity (the average rating for House Republicans has risen from 63 percent in 1972 to 91 percent in 2002).

	American conservatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		American conservatism is a constellation of political ideologies within the United States under the blanket heading of conservative.
		Conservative," argued in his 1960 Conscience of a Conservative that conservatives split on the issue of civil rights due to some conservatives advocating ends (integration, even in the face of what they saw as unconstitutional Federal involvement) and some advocating means (constitutionality above all else, even in the face of segregation).
		The archetypal free-market conservative administrations of the late 20th century -- the Margaret Thatcher government in the UK and the Ronald Reagan government in the U.S. -- both held the unfettered operation of the market to be the cornerstone of contemporary modern conservatism (this philosophy is sometimes called neoliberalism).

		Far from being driven by xenophobia and intolerance, conservative populists are motivated by a profound respect for the rule of law and by a patriotic regard for America’s sovereignty and national security.
		But most Americans are now presented with a choice between two parties that are both addicted to power—the Democrats to government power and Republicans to corporate and governmental power.

		Supporters of this legislation share a commitment to protecting the privacy cherished by American citizens -- a value increasingly imperiled in an information age in which personal information has become a commodity that is captured and compiled, manipulated and misused, bought and sold in ways not even imaginable just a few years ago.

	Should Conservatives "Get over It?" by The American Conservative Union — george bush, fred barnes, ...
		The Medicare drug bill may have been Bush's chief "apostasy" to conservative principle, he admits, and was opposed by almost all on the right for its socialization of the senior prescription drug market and its $16 trillion in unfunded liabilities.
		But the "conservative" editorial concluded that the Bush Administration must "enforce their own laws" for the sake of "the system's most vulnerable children," indistinguishable from the liberal rhetoric of presidents Johnson, Carter and Clinton.
		With almost half of conservatives not approving of his performance, this is an incredibly and historically low support level for a Republican president, which greatly affects his overall popularity and his ability to govern, not to mention the upcoming election.

	The Raw Story \| Novak: Conservatives may resign from board if DeLay hired as lobbyist; Obama running in 2008
		In a Christmas Eve column for the Chicago Sun-Times, conservative columnist Robert Novak claims he has heard of potential resignations of board members at the American Conservative Union, should former GOP Texas Congressman Tom DeLay, who was indicted on state campaign finance charges, be hired as a lobbyist for the organization.
		The group is most known for its annual "Rating of Congress," which measures each Congressional member on a scale of 0 to 100, based on their "adherence to conservative principles." DeLay received an 88 score in 2005, down from a perfect 100 rating in 2004.
		According to DeLay's blog, GAIN aims to be "a new force for change inside the American conservative movement, and a staunch opponent of secular progressive pressure groups and radical leftist agendas wherever they may be found in the United States."

		He's best known to conservatives as head of the American Conservative Union (ACU), which describes itself as the oldest conservative advocacy group in the nation.
		The trouble is that Keene's public identity as a prominent conservative who runs the ACU is not separable from his other life as a lobbyist.
		Whenever Keene advocates against conservative principles on behalf of a client, many assume he represents the views of the ACU as a whole rather than the for-profit interests of the Carmen Group.

		Still, conservative skeptics in the audience noted that Bush opponents Al Gore and Ralph Nader together had outpolled their candidate by three million votes in the election, and that Democrats had gained more seats in Congress, tying Republicans in the Senate.
		Bush's tax plan is hostage to the idea of a balanced budget that Republicans and conservative Democrats in Congress foisted on Clinton in the first two years of his administration, only to have Clinton agree to it.
		Coming up soon will be close votes over conservative hot-button issues like campaign finance reform and closing the gun show loophole that will pose a challenge to the president.
