If you define yourself as a conservative but felt uneasy about much of President Bush, Jr.'s domestic policies and rampant spending, you may like to read this article. I often found myself defending Bush because I believed in the war on terror and his general foreign policy efforts, though certainly not all of them. I also believed it was unfair to call him stupid and would react by defending him. But his denigration of conservatism shows that, in the end, he was more akin to a hawkish Democrat (think Joe Lieberman or John McCain) than any true conservative.
