John--

You're right--Bush is no conservative.

He's also no Republican. Party of Lincoln--not likely. Conservation a la Teddy Roosevelt--does not compute. Even Ike--no land war overseas--he blew that one too.

Oh wait--he could be a Republican--but only with Harding as his model--the same sterling quality of appointees, and intellectual brilliance himself.

Actually, as I've said before--I'd say he's a radical reactionary, with neo-Wilsonian delusions.

Yup, he's an all-around great guy. No wonder we're so unified and the world loves us so.
