"No, just pointing out that Bush is no conservative, except on foreign affairs."

But that's just so wrong!

Bush signed into law the ban on partial birth abortions. Complain about the viability of that law all that you want, but signing such a ban is a domestic Conservative thing to do.

Ditto giving raises to our military.

And again for giving out tax cuts. Oh sure, you can complain about spending, but tax cuts don't go hand in glove with spending. You could get spending increases even without tax cuts, for instance. At least with Bush you get tax cuts. That's conservative, and that's on the domestic front, too.

Ditto for reducing logging restrictions, rolling back CO2 regulations, and easing the restrictions on Genetically Modified foods.

For every good thing you point out, there are 3 or 4 things that are not conservative. Bush is nothing farther right than a moderate based on his presidency.
