Maybe the scales finally fell from our eyes. If the last 15 years have been ‘’conservatives’’, count me out. Actually, longer than 15 years. And at least, Dubya was likable and basically, a decent guy. The others- not so much.
Agreed, with the exception of Bush. There was a period when we had a Republican president, conservative Supreme Court, and control of both houses of Congress. A perfect storm, the scenario made for turning the country around. A what did they do with it? The size of federal government continued to grow, along with destruction of the republican form of governing (see the universalization of the Commerce Clause), and ballooning of the debt. Bush was and is a nice guy but “compassionate” conservatism was and is the application of socialism by other means.
No. The George W. Bush term was very not conservative. We never had such a spending party as was ushered in by George W. Bush, until we got this current ignorant idiot.
Karl Rove's fingerprints are probably all over the Bush spending party.
