Can someone, ANYONE, yet prove to me that George W. Bush is conservative? |
|
I've been waiting five and a half years for the explanation.

1. He's certainly conserved his brain. You know, by not using it. |
|
He's conserved his heart as well.

3. Depends on the definition of "conservative". |
|
By the current American usage, he's a complete conservative. Anti-gay, tax cuts, no limit to military spending, anti-choice, "religious", etc.

5. Bush was pivotal in changing the meaning of "conservative".... |
|
He has pretty much turned on its head the old-fashioned notion of a conservative as someone who hews to small government and financial prudence. Intead, he has put together a coalition of the religious right, those who want to project American might into the Middle East, and ... well, the religious right. And given how he has handled the Iraq war, only the last group is sticking by him.

6. Disagree--Bush is merely a poor copy of Reagan. |
|
Reagan is the one who started this crap. Bush just attached himself to it because the sheeple bought Reagan's bullshit. Reagan pandered to the religious right, ran up huge deficits, started illegal wars, etc.

10. It was estimated JSM had the highest IQ in history |
|
Not that he ever took a test, but judged on his writings he was a genius.
And a liberal. Funny how the two go together.

Smaller, less intrusive Government? Nope.
Reducing runaway spending? Nope.
Getting government out of people's personal lives? Nope.
Cutting taxes? Well, for the top 10%, yes. Everyone else, suck it up.
Less interference in foreign matters and no more "nation building"? Nope.
Saving American jobs? Nope.
Keeping illegal immigrants under control? Nope.
Those are the top priorities of conservatives as I've heard them for years and years and years.
And Bunnypants fails in every category.
