I dont see Big-Gov Conservatives as true Conservatives at all but perhaps I am being a little to precise. I was going to say anal but this probably is not the thread to do it in. ;)
I know President Bush has been seen by some on this forum as being a Big-Gov type of guy and he is taking heat for it. However, we have to remember that he IS a politician after all. Signing the farm bill got him votes and we need to capture the Senate. Compromise can suck but it is inevitable.
rudeboy666, I know exactly what you mean. I was talking to a Liberal today and even she agreed that Pim was to the left of almost all of the Democrats here. Our media sucks, the European Media is an insane, hysterical mess. They dont like anti-immigration views so he MUST BE FROM THE ULTRA RIGHT WING!!! LOL! Like Yardstick said about American Teachers, I doubt they even understand what they are even saying.
In a precise sense, I don't either. I'm not really sure what you'd call the big-government variety. Maybe "right-wing" is the best term since it seems to indicate a certain non-radical traditionalism and has overtones of strong central authority.
