If Bush was any kind of conservative it was a neo-conservative. I don't think anybody wants to claim those fools. Dick Cheney, BTW, was/ is a member of PNAC. There's no doubt that he is a traitor.
I hope I never called Bush a conservative. He and Cheney hurt the Republican party almost as much as these all talk and no walk people like Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, and the rest of the people who run their mouths on the radio just to hear themselves talk. Get rid of those people and maybe the party can attract real conservatives and real people who can think for themselves rather than regurgitate what they hear all day. I stated my opinion on TARP several times ... that I was against it. And now we can bail out the banks but we can't bail out the man that builds cars for a living. It just shows how fucked up this country is. We need jobs and our oligarchy rulers don't give a shit whether people have jobs or not.
