Is everyone who disagrees with Bush a Liberal?

Question

I don't understand why conservatives label anyone who's anti-Bush as liberal. Explain.

I ask because I know ALOT of moderates and Christian conservatives who are anti-Bush.

I agree. Bush is not a "conservative". He deserves a different definition because so far, he has done nothing to preserve American culture, tradition, etc. . . I mean, what conservative sends tens of thousands of American jobs overseas? Or, what conservative refuses to push a bill for better boarder control? The man's a joke and he doesn't fit into any category in terms of political beliefs. He is his own category. I can't believe that after all of this, he still has supporters.

People will complain about Clinton whenever Bush is mentioned as a bad president. And by all means, complain. I never liked Clinton either. But just because I dislike Clinton (along with most Democrats), it doesn't mean that I'll support Bush because of that.

Thanks for the input everyone.

Answer 1

I'm a Goldwater Republican conservative.

Bush and his crowd are not conservatives. They are thieving traitors.

As for Bush himself, he only does what he's told to do, says what he's told to say (as much of it as he can remember).

The following of airheads that can't see through him is very puzzling. But then by definition, 50% of the population is below average intelligence.

Answer 2

It would be nice if 70% of the country were liberal - but no - not everyone who disagrees with Bush is a liberal.
It's just a lot easier to label people than to actually debate an issue.

Answer 3

So true--if that were the case then American would be 75% Liberal--and you know that isn't the case. I consider anyone who disagree's with Bush as a PATRIOT, a term used to describe any man who stands behind the Constitution and the defense of it. It's too bad that "patriotic conservative" is an oxymoron.

Answer 4

no, he is a god fearing man he has strong beliefs some of his decisions are based on his faith. he may also be asking his dad for advise. i think anyone who disagrees with him on some of his foreign policies he makes is just concerned about our troops and how we are perceived by other countries and our allies. the conservatives who are labeling one are just bush supporters. no more bush, lets get a democrat in the white house or a smart republican like ronald reagan there will never be another ronald reagan

Answer 5

" ask because I know ALOT of moderates and Christian conservatives who are anti-Bush."

me too! specifically people who idolize Ronald Reagan, are the ones I know, that seem to dislike him most.

Answer 6

I'm conservative and I don't like Bush's border policies, I don't think he fought the war correctly...but I'm no liberal either.

Answer 7

Seems like a lot of the Republican candidates were very "anti-Bush" tonight!

Answer 8

Some take the fact that "All liberals disagree with Bush" to mean "All people who disagree with Bush are liberal."

Answer 9

I think it's a case of "he who screams loudest".
Many people of all persuasions disagree with him and his policies. It's just that when the name calling starts ( I am sorry, but so much of it starts from his administration and supporters ) it drowns out all of the other opinions.
Unfortunately, the press picks it up and amplifies it.

Answer 10

I don't like Bush because I'm a constitutionalist. Same reason I didn't like Clinton.
