He's conservative in a few social areas, and liberal in others. His personal leanings may be conservative on social issues. We'll have to wait for the SCOTUS picks to pan out to see what (if any) those appointments will have.
No child left behind is a well-intentioned flop. Same for his social drug benefit.
Tax cuts without taking measures to control spending is hardly conservative budgetary policy.
In matters of foreign relations, he's a progressive with liberal leanings.
He's decidedly pro-military, and has decided to fight WoT abroad, which is good.
That hardly makes him worthy of idolatry. If he signs an amnesty into law (that he, himself has hacked for), it will almost certainly guarantee victory for Hillary in '08.
I agree. And no one I know worships him.
