But for me, what it means is to be as conservative as you possibly can while moving the ball forward. And that's something that I think Reagan talked about quite a bit. He wanted as much as he possibly could. And if you only got 50% of what you were asking for, or 80% and you're moving the ball in the right direction, you're a conservative. And I think that's where I'm at, and I think that's where a lot of members are at. (12:44–12:55)
