David,
Your boy Bush is the least conservative conservative I've seen recently. He's reactionary, blows with the wind, does what is most politically expedient, and then some. Are huge budget deficits, and expanded trade tariffs conservative? Is extending the power of federal agencies, and creating huge new bureaucracies conservative? Is creating the highest level of corporate regulation conservative? Bush reads public sentiment, and goes it one better, regardless of ideology. The man is a hack.
Rated on pure conservative fiscal principles, Clinton was far more conservative than Bush. That was the prevailing public mood at the time, I'm not giving him a lot of credit. But that doesn't fit in with your label philosophy, does it? Try to think outside the labels, and you might see some reality.
re: You're saying she is "dumb" based on what?
No, I said she "appeared" to be "relatively dumb". Most politicians that are in charge of elections manage to read and interpret the election laws (I would say a minimum requirement for the position). Compared to most politicians, she is "relatively dumb". You are blindly defending incompetence because she has that wonderful conservative label.
