Do you really consider Bush a liberal?
Yes.
Limited government? Bush has been the greatest expansionist of government ever, in many ways more than FDR and LBJ.
Fiscally? The numbers speak for themselves. Even if you back out the War on Terror, Bush is the most socialistic spender EVER!
Conservative beliefs? Bush nominated Miers!!!!!!!! Guess who he did not nominate? Owen, Jones, Brown, Luttig . . . and oh yes, he nominated Roberts also who was not Owen, Jones, Brown, Luttig.
There are megabytes more of examples. The facts is, Bush is NOT a conservative, but is a liberal.
BTW, on domestic security, of course Bush allows an invasion to go on unanswered on our borders, and in Iraq and Afghanistan, Bush fights a "politically correct" war.
