I am trying real hard to see "consevatism" in a president who has not once vetoed a increased spending bill.

Has not, in his first six years of office, stood in the bully pulpit and fought for deficit reduction through reduction of spending.

Has implented the greatest increase in federal control over education. Not to mention (okay I will) the fact that the Dept. of Ed. has doubled its budget in his first five years as president.

You already mentioned CFR and "drugs for seniors".

Is tacitly advocating for open borders and WILL NOT close our southern border to the daily invasion of illegals.

Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

Not vetoed a spending bill: He supposedly had a Republican Congress which were supposed to be his “friends”. You don’t make enemies of people who you need to fight a war on terror.

Education: Pure deal-making with a supposedly Republican Congress and liberals demanding compensation for losing a close election. To his credit, Bush did try and institute some standards for getting the money.

Immigration: I believe it was a matter of timing as I noted in another response. In the first term, the economy would have suffered from such a crack down. In the second term, we see more of it. Surely the result of conservative pressure but also made more palatable by an improved economy.

etc, etc... Don’t it always seem to go, That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone
