Default Re: The Land of Opportunity

There are very few pure conservatives. There are:
Economic Conservatives - Social Liberals (Rudy Guiliani?)
Economic Liberals - Social Conservatives (Alan Colmes)

Bush lowered taxes = Conservative move.
Sign Campaign Finance Reform (aka limiting political speech) = Liberal Move
Farm Bill = Liberal Move
Drug Bill = Liberal Move

Bush is not a very good conservative in my opinion... The fact he has not even used his veto power once to limit the size of govt is terrible. There are MANY THINGS he can be fairly criticized for but the left-wing-black-helicopter-kook crowd prefers to call him a nazi and cite silly conspiracy theories...

With regard to foreign policy this is an issue which transends conservative/liberal. In foreign policy, you decide what actions are needed to make your country safe and properous and take action. The American democrats are viewed as being INCREDIBLE WEAK in this arena which is the #1 reason Bush43 got re-elected...
