One difference: I do not believe either Rove or Bush are or were Conservative. Republicans yes, but not conservatives. But you're right on what happened. Now Americans are waking up and understand that it is we who must hold our government's feet to the fire. This new Congress sounds good, but we must ensure that their ACTIONS are in accordance with the Constition. Shame on Human Events to have rabbited. Bravo!!!

I think so; as a libertarian, I found them distinctly conservative. Help to crony capitalists, surpressing civil liberties...yep, sounds like it to me. As for the rest of you conservatives here...don't waste my time. You can say I am not a "team player". Libertarians left the team say, let me see, Labor Day Weekend 1969 Conservatives?

Obama makes him look even better! The men and women in uniform could at least take pride in him as their Commander-in-Chief and serve with dignity! He may not have been a true conservative on all fronts but considering the far greater damage that could have been caused to this great nation from the likes of Gore or Kerry, we should be grateful!

It is unconstitutional, that is, the Federal Govt. is not authorized to make policy, have jurisdiction or do anything else in this area. In addition to this, healthcare costs are so high and unaffordable because of past government meddling via subsidies and regulations. It is unaffordable to you precisely because people think it should be the role of central planners to make policy. shoaib – answer: no.

To me a conservative is one who believes in limited government, sound financial actions, a desire to protect this nation from all foreign adversaries, the worth of the individual and the importance of the family as the basic unit of society. In my book George W. Bush fails in almost all categories. He certainly didn’t exhibit any advocacy of limited government when he enacted No Child Left Behind or the Patriot Act or creating the Department of Homeland Security to name just a few. He didn’t exhibit conservative actions when he ran huge budget deficits or when he bailed out some giant business corporations. He certainly didn’t exhibit conservative principles when he refused to build the fence along, even after congress passed the law, the southern border of the USA to keep illegals out of this country or when he allowed himself to be almost completely focused on Iraq and largely ignored Osama bin Laden who was responsible for the planning and execution of 9/11. As far as I am concerned George W. Bush is a wolf in sheep’s clothing when it comes to being a conservative.</i> +1 I won’t even dignify George W. Bush and Karl Rove by labeling them conservatives.

There is no such thing as a Big Government conservative. That is an oxymoron.
