Which goes to show that your two cents is worth about a peso. Conservatives have not changed, the definition of Republican has.

Not questioning your knowledge of history, MAP, but exactly WHEN have the terms Republican and Conservative been one and the same?

Late 19th century.......NO. Early 20th century.........NO. Late 20th century...........NO.

There have always been Conservative Republicans, but the Republican party has never been entirely conservative.

You are implying that something has changed (and I assume you are blaming Bush for the change), and it is just not historically accurate.
