We seated one of the most conservative presidents in recent history in 2000, and he could not hold Congress.
Conservatism lost.

"Conservatism lost."
Nope, the Republican party lost. Did you bother to follow any of the local state-by-state races ? Scores of Democrats cross-dressing as CONSERVATIVE family-values style candidates from coast to coast, hoodwinking the public. In Tennessee alone, we had 'Rats attempting to get well to the RIGHT of our Republican nominees. Want to know how come Harold Ford, Jr. nearly pulled off an upset win ? He RAN as a Conservative Republican ! Our nominee was so damaged as the most LIBERAL RINO in the race that he almost lost. Nope, this was a defeat for the GOP. The 'Rats used a Conservative platform to win this election. Conservatism won, even if these treacherous buffoons have no intention of voting that way.
Not at all.
I supported George W. Bush for president before he was even sworn in as governor of Texas because I though he would kick the "moderates" and RINOs in the teeth...
GW is not really much of a "conservative" at all...
That's about the most preposterous statements I've read on here. Unless you define recent as 12 years.
