Bush could be considered "socially conservative"...but really that term is something recently invented. It doesn't have anything to do with what being a traditional "conservative" meant:
-It meant you were fiscally conservative.....kept spending in check, preferred economic streamlining to new taxes or outlandish spending -It meant you took a conservative interpretation of the Constitution...which is to say you didn't interpret it much at all, but took it at its face.....the letter of the law vs. the spirit. -It meant you looked to conserve, or restrict, the size of the federal government, rather than augment or expand it. Bush fails all three of those core defintions of a conservative. > How do you figure that he's not conservative.. he may be not as > conservative as say....Pat Buchannon but I'd still call him conservative. > > Scott A.
