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.

Then you'd be better served to state that Bush is as conservative a president as we've had in the late 20th century...you can't really claim he's as conservative as anyone, then say you utilize a sliding scale for making the comparison.
