Reagan believed in small government. Bush believes in big government. Reagan believed that people could lead their own lives. Bush believes they need the government to direct how they lead their lives and take care of them.
Bush is closer to LBJ than to Reagan.

Yep.
And, worst of all, Bush has persuaded many contemporary conservatives that it's in our best interests to jerk the wheel over to the left in ways which no right thinking conservative would ever have swallowed before.
All in the name of politics versus principle.
If this is what we must do to keep America alive, isn't America dead already? Wouldn't we be better off just starting over then - versus giving socialism in America any more legitimacy?
