"Bush is not fiscal conservative." No kidding!

Mr. Bush ran as an anti-big government "conservative" but he has become the biggest spending president since FDR, even beating LBJ's "guns and butter" billions. He claimed to be a conservative, but he has run up trillions in debt and has yet to veto even one bill of any kind, even when loaded with billions in unneeded pork. He said he had no intention to engage in "nation building" yet the US is mired down in not only Iraq and Afghanistan, but in almost every corner of the earth in one way or another, while other areas, such as Latin America, are neglected to the future detriment of the US. He promised that he had made the US ready to defend itself after the 9-11 attacks, but Hurricane Katrina proved that promise to be, er... in the 'yet to be achieved' category. On the other-hand... he sometimes claims to be able to 'see into people's hearts', (but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with conservatism).
