Default Bush Gives Conservatives A Bad Name

y'know, if Bush and the GOP truly espoused conservative values, i could easily be a Republican....

but by being many times removed from true Conservatism, the Far Right is a mutant ideology (much as the Far Left has mutated from the classic principles of LIberalism).

both ideologies, as espoused by the major parties, are first and foremost, self-serving and function primarily to obtain and maintain power. the so-called "conservatives" really lose credibility when they unequivocally support the Bush, because his policies largely run contrary to true conservative values.


in a perfect world, both parties would act a lot more like libertarians.
