"True conservative"? How would you even know? You're a Bush supporter. That goddamned medicare fiasco is a democratic policy. Carter and Hill probably called each other to discuss how reading its fine print got them hornier than a pair of drunken newlyweds. And the Dept of Homeland Security? Fuck if that isn't the most classic knee-jerk Democratic reaction of all time.
"Sir, how shall we solve the dilemna of asshole bureaucrats mucking up our intelligence capabilities? I'm thinking we could fire a bunch of the bureaucrats and hold the survivors accountable for cooirdinating with one another."
"Neeewww, we won't be doing that. the economy's in the toilet... this is a great opportunity to pump prime it a bit with some senseless govt spending. Lets hire a new army of bureaucrats to oversee the other bureaucrats. Oh, and put Ridge in charge. Lock up that moderate Catholic vote and maybe make some headway in PA. We may need PA... Karl says folks in Ohio are beinning to pay attention to the facts Kerry's people have been throwing around."

Like I've said before, the Bush Administration displays the worst characteristics of both parties: it spends money and enlarges government like the Democrats, yet is socially controlled by Christian evangelists from the far right.
I think even the most staunch Bush supporters
on this board would prefer the opposite. Of course, while I'm voting for him, I'm not sure Kerry will give us that.
Assuming Kerry spends like a motherfucker, that's a wash. This will happen no matter who is president. However, Kerry won't try to implement the Christian fundamentalist bigoted social agenda, which gives us this:
Bush: -1, -1
Kerry: -1, 1
Kerry gives us an expected outcome of 0 over Bush's -2. Zero is what I expect out of our checked and balanced government.
