No, he was not an ideological conservative. He is a nationalist, politically pragmatic on all views except for issues of national security (and even then, the torture and Gitmo stances he took were not with the conservatives).

Are Willard or Elmer conservative?

If you think Tweedle-Dumb and Tweedle-Dumber are in any sense, (other than talking-and talk is cheap...its actions that speak loudest), conservative, then I’d like to try a blast of whatever you’ve been drinking after I sell you some nice beachfront property in Oklahoma.

Only to those Timothy Leary fans left over from the 60’s.
