"It depends on one's mindset, but it would keep the Liberals out of power while we work on the problem."

No, it would just put different liberals into power. When it comes to fiscal policy, Bush is a liberal. Liberal. I know you thought it was simplistic, but I'll say it again -- supporting limited government is a critical part of being a conservative. If you don't support limited government, you aren't conservative. Voting for fiscal liberals just puts fiscal liberals into power -- not conservatives.

"Try not to use the word 'base' for the rest of your life."
