Fiscal conservatism has, first and foremost, to do with a balanced budget.

I'm not saying Kerry would do even close to this, but if he increased spending 40% while increasing taxes enough to balance the budget I wouldn't call him a fiscal conservative, or if fiscal conservatism is to be defined just as balancing the budget (and I would not define it that way) then fiscal conservatism is overrated. A balanced budget at 40% higher spending levels would be worse than what we have now.
