“But go ahead, blame the most conservative president...”

Open borders, massive increases in deficit spending, new entitlement programs, free trade, and mishandling the early stages of the Iraq War. That’s conservative? Bush is not blameless.

[Big Horn]

The rats like sheep hang together while the GOP all split and try to fight their own fight. We need a leader that can unite us. If it is possible to unite us because it seems to me like it is our nature to be rugged individualists.

massive increases in deficit spending,

Have you ever heard of strategic deficits. That is one contribution of Reagan to conservative philosophy.

free trade,

If you don't know that free trade is conservative, ie, freedom enhancing, you don't know much about being a conservative.

and mishandling the early stages of the Iraq War. That’s conservative?

Liberate two countries with essentially minimal KIA. Did it ever occur to you that if in a war you miminize collateral damage and civilian casualties, the aftermath might be a bit more difficult. Your understanding of war and the history of war come right from the MSM apparently.

Bush is not blameless.

Nobody said he was blameless, I did not care for his first term steel tariff increase. What I said was that the Dims rallied around the indefensible to avoid taking big losses for their side. The conservative pundits and bloggers like you have allowed Bush's reputation to be torn to shreds often unfairly, hows that working out for you? Not surprisingly to me the GOP voters turned to the center after failing to get defense from the right, you satisfied with the nominee you got hanging Bush out to dry?
