"G.W. Bush is also more of a conservative "

Maybe in his public persona, but as far as any legislation, he is a far bigger spender and government expander than his father.

Sure, but G.W. Bush has:

1. Reduced taxes and not gone back and raised them.

2. Supported a defense of marriage ammendment not signed into law the Americans with Disabilities Act. [No matter what you think of it, the Americans with Disabilities Act is government intervention in the market place.]

3. Appointed conservative Judges in the face of blocking in the Senate not appointed Justice Souter to the US Supreme Court. Imagine G.H.W. Bush had to use up political capital to get this captive of the Beltway through the Senate.

The budget and spending is one issue. But there are many otehr ways to be a conservative. G.W. Bush seems pretty conservative to me compared to his centerist father.
