No way Bush is a Conservative. He is something else. Conservatives believe in fiscal responsibility, small govenment, less social entitlement programs and a restrictive monetary policy.
I don't want to hear anything about how we are at war and how that necessitates budget deficits.
Bush is a reactionary war-mongerer who is bankrupting this country's future by involving us in poorly reasoned escapades in tangential countries while virtually ignoring the real threat. Everyone agrees that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. We should have been hunting down Al Qaida for the past three years, not getting bogged down in a deadly side-show that is now a breeding ground for more terrorists. Now our children will be paying for this war and it's effects for generations.
The war is a minor expense compared to transfer payments and other entitlements.
