Bush is as conservative a president as has ever been elected and it was by the slenderest of hairs.

Your claim is that Bush is as conservative a president as has ever been elected in US history?

Since "conservative" is relative to the time one lives in, Yes Bush is as conservative as any president we have ever elected. Reagan certainly compromised as much as he and as governor was no more conservative than Bush.

There are some which were as conservative: Taft, Grant, Cleveland, McKinley, Washington, etc. but none more.
