Bumper sticker definition of a conservative:
Both a social and fiscal conservative.

Deviation from either = RINO especially when portraying oneself as a "conservative."
Media will label pro-life/fiscal liberals as conservatives i.e., GWB.
Pro-abort/fiscal conservatives are media labeled as thoughtful moderates.

I know this is oversimplified, but hopefully communicative.

I agree. Farmers wanting tonnes of taxpayer loot for "protecting our way of life" aren't conservatives at all ..no matter how strongly they oppose abortion or any other social moral issue. But the rural parts of America are a big part of the GOP base. I guess GOP doesn't mean conservative.
