"And if Bush is taking 'liberal' steps like UNESCO membership, why do you people think of him as 'conservative?'"


George W. Bush is a pragmatist, not a 'conservative'. He has some conservative leanings but will not 'go for it' as Reagan did. Bush wants to be liked, Reagan was liked. There is a difference.

The president's approval numbers are rather low, based as much on conservatives being dissapointed as it is based on liberals being, well, liberals.
