Pat Buchanan's and Taki's mag. Scott McConnell is generally thought of as a moderate in conservative circles, while at the same time, out in front on the immigration issue.

I think about every other issue there is an article written from an Old Right libertarian.

Lets grant your point. I stand by my position that attempting to paint Dean as a radical leftwinger in light of the preformance of the current President (even if you see him as conservative and I see him as an LBJ spender) I believe you will aid in his campaign which I see as him modeling after Clinton (recall the Sistah Soldier moment, the coddling dictators moment, and the middle class tax cut.)

On many issues GW is 100% conservative imho, on spending he is not, I have, however done a bit of research and (despite the fact that I think GW is spending too much, the prescription drug thingie is an abomination) have found that as a % of GDP spending in the Bush presidency is down, marginally over the Clinton years, the diff is like .5% which is a small number but represents a ton of greenbacks.

I dont get the sistah soldier comment, Dean hasnt done anything like that.

PB and Taki are libertarians, both are against pre emptive engagement of the Islamic terrorists, I respect PB to a certain extent, Taki is a nutball.

When you compare GW with LBJ you have to keep things in perspective LBJs Great Society cost us about 6 Trillion bucks, GW has a ways to go on that one.
