Please remember that Governor Bush NEVER claimed to be a conservative. He said he believed in “compassionate conservatism” which ain’t nearly the same thing.
Also remember the alternatives were AlGore, High Priest of Gaia, and John eFfin’ sKerry. They were pretty good reasons to vote for George W. Bush, conservative or not.
Also, President Bush has never been secretive about his goals. He has done, or tried to do, nearly everything he promised - the immigration reform (aka “shamnesty”) should have been no surprise.
Its one of things I like about him, even as I oppose some of things he is trying to do...

Absolutely true and the exact reason I have NEVER voted for him in a primary election even though I was on the same ballot with him when he was first elected Governor of Texas. I got to know the man and he certainly IS NOT "conservative" as I define the word.

Conservatives believe in the rule of law and unfailing allegiance to oaths of office in my view. President Bush has proven that he does not do either of those things as have a great many members of congress who regularly vote for legislation they KNOW to be unconstitutional.
