Good point, but I meant UnConservative.

Conservatives aren't necessarily Republicans.

But the R party is currently the home of the Conservative movement. (though, I sometimes wonder why)

Did anybody actually think that he was going to reduce the size of the federal government or many other things. Even though Clinton tried as hard as he could, he couldn't even get half of what he wanted passed (thank God we didn't get stuck with Hillary's medi-socialism). Once people are in office, they are going to watch polls, play it safe, and try to be re-elected. If GW is going to do anything significant, it would happen in a second term. It doesn't matter what party, once in, your the 'incumbent' party and your going to try to stay that way.

Not bashing Bush, I voted for him three times, it's the nature of the beast that is politics.

Whatever a candidate promises, I expect them to do half that, not because they they don't want to, but because that is the way our system is setup and that is what the checks and balances are all about. I think Bush has done a good job, but he listens to a lot of people around him who didn't have to make campaign promises, and who have their own motives.
