With the recent discord amongst the right over Harriet Miers, and his profligate spending habits, a question has popped into my mind. Is Bush really a conservative? He's no liberal, that's for sure, but is he a real conservative? Is he a right-winger who loves Big Government? Who knows.
I'm no conservative, so it's less of a concern to me than those who call themselves conservatives, and those who voted for him.

More of a main-streeter type. Not a fiscal hawk, not hrad-core religious right, even though he plays both on TV....
Although I think Bush is firmly in the right-wing camp, I don't think he's as consistently right-wing as many of his supporters would like (It makes one wonder how far they're willing to go). There is also the problem of his record not matching up to his conservative rhetoric. Again, I'm not a conservative, but all of us ought to be concerned about the fact that Bush has presided over the largest increase in the size and scope of the government in a looong time.
