I doubt if you have any idea what a Goldwater conservative is, as your idea of conservative values is "whatever Mr. Bush says this week".

A) Out of control spending...no problem. Mr. Bush says its o.k.

B). Interference in personal privacy issues within a family even after judicial review is exhausted.(Schaivo). No problem..Mr. Bush says its o.k.

C). Big Government..and I mean BIG. New education and medicare programs. Huge new departments. No Problem..forget small government conservatism. Mr. Bush says big government is the way to go.

D.). Failing to talk to other nations just because they disagree with us...no problem, Mr. Bush..No.No.Wait. Mr. Bush now says it is O.K. to talk to the likes of North Korea and Iran. So now that is what good conservatives do.

Mr. Bush bears absolutely no relation to traditional republican conservatism. He is some kind of big-spending, big-government, interventionist, intrusive conservative. I don't think anybody who used to be a conservative, Goldwater or Reagan, would recognize him as the leader of their movement.

And in his last State of the Union address, he dropped all the references to the social issues you care about. Gone.

So why are you sending that big check to his planned presidential library up there at SMU?
