If conservatives are just now discovering that Bush is not a conservative, I have to ask what kool-aid have they been drinking? Answer, the media's.
Actually the ones drinking the koolaid here are the Mike Savagites who cling to the notion that only their rabidly paranoid delusion world view is "Conservative". Actually the Savagites aren't Conservative at all. They are merely Big Govt Reactionaries. They would have NO problem massively increasing the size, scope and reach of the Federal Govt in the areas of Trade, Border Security, Economic Nationalism and Culture Policing. The Whine All The Time Choir continually whine about Federal Spending but really are just pissed because the Govt isn't spending on what THEY want. They have no more interest in Limited Government then the Deaniac Leftists. They merely want the Fed Govt to do different things FOR them.
Bush is prime example why I wont be voting for a moderate in the primaries.
