Nerd,

It may be true that a majority of Liberals have been big spenders and a majority of conservatives have been small spenders.

However, it is an example of the commonest but worst philosophical error - post hoc ergo procter hoc - to suggest that you can therefore conclude that every big spender is liberal and every small spender is conservative (with or without capital letters.

Liberal is what liberal believes and Conservative is what conservative believes. What ever else is true. Bush'e beliefs are CONSERVATIVE writ as large as possible.
