Neocons aren't conservatives. Many neocons are former democrats and many of the founders like Irving Kristol and Jeanne Kirkpatrick were trotskyites. In fact Irving Kristol described a neoconservative as "just a liberal who got mugged by reality." Of the presidents of the past century, neocons tend to like like Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Kennedy, and Reagan. No correlation to fiscal conservatism but they were patriotic and inspirational leaders which shaped our history greatly.

I don't know if Bush could really be considered a neocon but a lot of people in his administration are and they have a lot of influence. Heck you can see the blueprint of many of Bush's policies by reading some articles at Project for a New American Century.
