I think today's definition of "conservative" really translates into expansion of the nanny state, especially into areas of "moral" concern.
Fiscally, there is only the slightest scent of any commitment to responsibility.
Once again the ONLY positive spin available continues to be:
"It would be worse of democrats were in power."
or
"Some cuts are better than none at all"
Unacceptable

Nothing worth voting on as far as im concerned. I am socially conservative but i vote based on economics. Bush is a liberal as far as im concerned.
