I have my doubts as to what a conservative is these days .
I wonder if it is wrong to call Bush supporters conservatives and why they think they are .
Seperate out his so called moral positions and you find he is a liberal big government proponent .
Surely his affairs with women in his youth , His ,alcohol and drug abuse , and his liberal spending that bankrupted two companies would lead most true conservatives to the conclusion George Bush was a liberal .
So why is it we have so called conservatives supporting this draft dodging , alcoholic loser , who is destroying America at the rate of 3 billion dollars a day .

Any conservative who supported the war should call for a war tax immediately or they are hypocrites.

I support this war fully, but I do NOT support how its been handled.
Its not about conservatives, liberals, right, left, Rep or Dem, its about picking a freaking goal and then seeing it through to the end.
Ive talked with a lot of people actually fighting in the war, and all of them say the same thing. Its mismanaged, you cant get anything done because they change everything and then cant get money to fund it.
We've been at this war for faaaar too many years. If we had the support and money we needed in the beginning we wouldnt be having this discussion. We're the strongest freak'n country on the planet, it doesnt take THIS LONG to finish something... America is the mistake, not the war.

Senator Barry Goldwater would be appalled at Bush's sell out of true conservative fiscal responsibility.

no, true reaganite type conservatives would do better at keeping us out of foriegn wars
certainly we would have gone into Afganistan, but not with only one toe in the water, we would have gone whole hog and would have gotten (one way or the other) permission from Pakistan to chase the S-O-B over the border and get him wherever he was
instead of getting sidetracked in an unrequired war just becuase the UN says so.

the cons put much emphasis on phrases, catchwords, sound bytes, and labels....but very little attention is given to what such words really mean.
hey, you have to give them credit. they've convinced millions that Bush is a "conservative", which to me is like convincing someone that the sky is actually a shade of orange and not blue. they can do some damn good spinning.

I will agree Bush is not a very good conservative and can be very liberal at times, his "New Tone" policy is very troublesome and he will not defend his own people. But he is strong on defense and that is what counts. I would rather spend 3 billion a day on defense of this country then 20 billion a day on social liberal welfare programs, like we are already doing.

Because a lot of people blindly follow their government and don't have a clue as to the extent of damage Mr. bush is causing.

No.
True conservatives do not support nation building.

It depends on if that Conservative viewed the war as necessary or not.
As always, it depends on the individual.
