"According to the Cato institute, Clinton was more conservative than Bush."

With your track record at imagining facts to support your wild-eyed rants, I would have to doubt, offhand, that even the Libertarian CATO institute would make that claim which you attribute to them.

But if they did say it, then they were wrong.

Item #1 on the Conservative Test is being pro-life.

Bush is pro-life. Clinton is pro-choice. Clearly Clinton is NOT more Conservative.

Item #2 on the Conservative Test is standing up to international socialism.

To wit: Bush killed the ICC (which I even provided you a link -above- from the CATO Institute - which flatly debunked your bizarre assertation to the contrary on that fact). Bush also killed the leftwing Kyoto global warming Treaty and the Soviet ABM treaty. Clinton, in contrast, signed the ICC treaty and favored the Kyoto Treaty so much that he wrote an Executive Order forcing all government agencies to act as though it was law (which Bush had to counteract with his own EO). Clearly Bush is more Conservative.

Item #3 on the Conservative Test is the 2nd Amendment.

Bush signed two pro-gun bills into law as President (+1 as gov) and instituted "individual rights" on the 2nd Amendment. In contrast, Clinton signed the Brady Bill and the Assault Weapons Bill and the "Instant Check" bill into law. Clearly Bush is more Conservative.

Item #4 on the Conservative Test is: Taxes.

Bush signed into law the largest Dollar-value tax cut in world history. Clinton signed into law the largest Dollar-value tax increase in world history.

And the list goes on and on and on and on and on...

Not that facts will mean anything to you. Heck, I provided a link above that flatly contradicted your own bizarre claims and you didn't even have the decency to admit that you were wrong.

Ergo, you are hopeless. You are an ideologue who will never change your stripes. Shoot, even after I finish embarassing you (And I'm nowhere near finished with you yet) you'll probably just troll as some newbie and make more of the same long-since-debunked comments. I've seen your type before, after all. The post and run, I don't have to show any sources or links type. The type who never admits to being wrong. The type that repeats disproven claims in other places. The type that claims that no on else has their "facts". No, your type isn't new around FR.
