Bush is certainly no conservative despite his answer in the press conference to that exact question, where he states: "proudly so". Big domestic spending, intrusion in tradional State's Rights, nation-building, the Federal Government as the fiscal solution to problems, big NEW Medicare programs, intrusion in people's personal lives through government action, tax cuts without offsetting spending discipine to create....ta da, fiscal responsibility. Appointment of cronies to government jobs..... the above are all 1960 liberal democratic principles. No conservative republican would have gotten within fifty miles of this. The last of the conservative foreign presss (where conservative really means "conservative" - their principles match their names) has pulled support from Mr. Bush. What remains of his "loyal base" is pulling back in wonder and disarray. The few gentlemen and ladies on this thread keep throwing out names and insults (why is it, by the way, that the Christian conservatives on this thread use the most invective and namecalling?) but have so little to claim as progress or even principle, there is nowhere for them to go... Pat Buchanan and William Crystal both call for Miers nomination to be withdrawn....so much more to come. The repubs who said "you should not ask a nominee about how they will vote on a case that might come before them" all want to ask those very questions of Miers.
