I resemble that remark

But, I believe that at the core of all widespread conservation lies an economic justification, not a political leaning.
Using this as simply one issue, I support energy conservation because I believe it's in our national interests...in fact, I support higher energy prices to create the stimulus to change behavior. Some might find my support of 'free markets' unconscionable, but our objective is the same even if our means to the end are different...
So, this is why I dislike political labels...and try to avoid characterizing people based on them.

I definitely don't resemble that remark
