Whereas Bush may have been the "better option", I don't feel he is anything remotely close to what I would call a "true" conservative. He's the best choice we have, yes, but that doesn't mean I have to swallow the "Bush" koolaid of socialist-conservatism. New World Order, up up and away!!!!
To: weenie
True believer? Probably. I'll agree with you on that. That's a good start.

No 72% / Yes 18%
At least people can get somethings right.

What makes one a "true conservative" and is it neccessarily a good thing to be one?
I'd say a "true conservative" believes in the status quo, whatever it may be. A "true conservative" is an isolationist and probably a protectionist, too.
A "true conservative" could certainly never be a radical visionary of forward-leaning reformer as President Bush is.
Just some food for thought.

I agree, GWB is a true believer. However, where he gets that open borders secure this country is beyond my scope of understanding.

9/11 changed all the traditional dynamics, from a parochial US fiscal policy viewpoint, so I believe that the past three years do not represent a reasonable benchmark to determine if the current administration has been fiscally conservative - comparatively. That being said, we do need to stop spending like a bunch of drunken sailors. I think W's second term will start to put the fiscal house back in order. Given his strength in every other area, I'm willing to give W the benefit of the doubt.
Just MHO.

I like the THIRD answer ...
"Yes, No, I don't know"
Sums up my view of Bush nicely.
In some ways he is conservative, other ways far more liberal than JFK (the original one!) especially in spending OUR money (not the feds).
The Patriot Act? Any law that cannot be disclosed to the public is UN-AMERICAN and TYRANNICAL! PERIOD! He treads on very thin ice.

George W. Bush is NOT a "conservative."
George W. Bush is a good man.
80% of the time he will take a position that pleases self described doctrinaire "conservatives."
100% of the time he will do what he feels is the right thing, as God gives him wisdom to understand it.
I guarantee you that I will disagree with 80% of the self styled "conservative purists" as to what the right thing is when they shriek and rail against GWB. Most of them are certifiable loons, little removed from the Michael Moore and his merry band of lunatics in their divergence from reality.
George W. Bush will remain a good man, regardless.
Given the circumstances I choose to trust GWB, not the loons, however "pure."
