He just said it on his right-wing radio show, the difference between conservatives and liberals is that liberals want power and conservatives don't want power. His example of liberals wanting power is the teachers unions. He challenged his listeners to think of an example of conservatives wanting power and he said there are no such examples.

(7,162 posts)In one way, he's right, though. Conservatives don't "want" power. They want to KEEP the power they already have, and refuse to share it, or use it for the common good.

But of course, it's still not true, you just end up with a bunch of deluded people.

(57,936 posts)They hand power over to the people with the guns and permit those folks to use their guns against the powerless. How much more power do the righties want?
