How many conservatives does it take to change a lightbulb?

Two. One to change the light bulb, and one to tell the other that he isn't conservative enough.

40. The Republicans just wanted to replace the old lightbulb, but they had to filibuster the Democrats' attempt to buy a new CFL lightbulb.

None. They were told by Fox News that science is the devil and they still use candles.

or alternatively:

zero, due to budget cuts there will be no light bulbs used this year, only candles.

They hire an illegal immigrant to do it for them, so they can keep working on anti-immigration laws.

Zero. Democrats outlawed light bulbs as they are bad for the environment.

But the Republicans were quick to bring out their new "random illumination factors", [which are now fully supplied by wholly private enterprise... at least where the markets are large enough to justify sales]

OR... what lightbulbs? We just turn on the switch to get our light!

No they got a group of civic-minded volunteers to change it for them. ;)

Zero, cuz the democrats won't let them change a single light in DC until they replace every single burned out bulb in the USofA, at the expense of the taxpaying, job creating small businesses.

I love how the idiots have made this a Republican/Democrat thing. As usual.

I love how some people still have some strange delusion that democrats aren't the opposite of conservatives.

They are not. Nor is "Republican" a synonym for "conservative".

Your statement strains the very fabric of logic.

Never said that.

Democrats are, by the general platform, in all ways, socially, politically and economically, not conservative in their ideals.

A Democrat is not at all necessarily a liberal. I personally know of at least one HIGHLY conservative individual by their personal beliefs who considers themself to be a Democrat because they don't believe in legislating their personal beliefs onto others. Never mind the MANY mid-stream Democrats who are fiscally conservative and socially liberal.

That you want to broad-brush everything simply shows a lack of willingness to look at your own statements.

I would suggest that it is not even close. I would suggest that website is a distorted embarrassment placed upon "conservatism" by the extreme right-wing.

Like gun control, health care mandates, and taxpayer funding of radio programs, just to list a few recent examples.
