Perhaps our interpretation of current events does differ. To me, an occasional conservative policy does not a conservative make.

" To me, an occasional conservative policy does not a conservative make."

Then you'll have no trouble at all quickly listing all of the conservatives who have achieved *more* sum total conservative actions in office than those list in Post #5.

Excuse me, but when did I ever say that an occasional conservative policy makes a conservative?

You make several erroneous assumptions here:
a) That the author is saying Bush is conservative when, in fact, he is saying that he is an heir to Reagan
b) That Reagan was more conservative than Bush when, in fact, as the author notes, Bush is much more similar to Reagan than the "golden age myths" of Reagan's actual performance in office

If Bush is not a conservative, than neither was Reagan, according to your logic.
