A conservative wants secure borders, a strong dollar, a balanced budget, economic self sufficiency, an actual absolute decrease in federal spending and laws/control, not getting involved in foreign wars, gun control laws to be repealed, etc.

We didn't elect a conservative. Bush has carried out every liberal program that Clinton would have been skewered for proposing.

As I recall, the only real conservative running was Michael Peroutka, and the message he was trying to get out was almost eradicated by the media.

I contend that we would have been better off with a democrat as president, that way, the republicans in congress would be fighting whatever the president does, instead of cooperating in trillion dollar deficits and other liberal non conservative misguided affairs.
