I think the new rule of american political discourse is that we're not allowed to exist Shadow. 
OTOH, "fiscal conservatism" is a term of art for american politicans, it's not like a vote for an r or a d is a vote for fiscal conservatism. Both parties are irresponsibly "pro-business", the only meaningful differences sit in their social platforms. "Paleoconservative" legislators knew this, yelled it at the rooftops...and then then went the way of the dodo for all the good it did them. The bell finally tolled when the Bush (jr) admin rewrote what it meant to be a conservative.
