I have been a "conservative" since I was in high school and passed out "Goldwater For President" literature (long ago and far away). Bush and his ignorant/arrogant cronies are the antithesis of everything I once thought of as "conservative". True conservatives are fiscally responsible. If there's anything worse than a tax-and-spend Democrat, it's a "borrow-and-spend" Republican. True conservatives don't start wars with people who haven't attacked us. True conservatives don't expand the role of government in every aspect of our lives or meddle in personal medical issues. True conservatives don't betray the identity of CIA agents to punish those who discover their lies. Bush's government is corrupt and amoral to the core, while portraying themselves as model Christians. It's almost enough to make me register as a Democrat (almost).
