Bush is Republican but he was never a conservative.[/FONT]
It depends on what you mean by conservative. If you mean a Bush-style conservative who is long on talk about social values, pork barreling to pet NGOs, big on foreign interventions like Iraq, fond of getting rid of regulatory and oversight bodies that lead to things like the economic meltdown and the BP blowout in the Gulf (thanks to no compliance inspections) and willing to implement TARP style bail-outs when Wall Street cries for them, then I disagree... but I know I am at odds with most hard line Republicans.
