THE CONSERVATIVE CASE AGAINST GEORGE W. BUSH
For an American conservative, better one lost election than the continued empowerment of cynical men who abuse conservatism through an exercise of power unrestrained by principle through the compromise of conservative beliefs. George W. Bush claims to be conservative. But based upon the unwholesome intrusion into domestic life and personal liberty of his administration and the local governments who imitate it, George W. Bush is no conservative, no friend of limited, constitutional government—and no friend of freedom. The Republic would be better served by his defeat in November.


Much more here... share it with your conservative friends.

1. I'm surprised there isn't a "Real Conservatives Against Bush" movement.
I've been saying it all along...in order to be a "conservative" you have to demonstrate a desire to "conserve" something. Be it the federal budget, natural resources, military lives. By definition, you have to conserve first.

I really hate the way the definitions of "conservative" and "liberal" in the mainstream have changed so much. There was actually once a time when they were considered equally appealing philosophies, now one is good and the other evil (depending on what you believe).
