Conservative politics can be a very good thing... There is a reason why America is richer, has a vastly lower deficit, and much better employment than any European country - we have lower taxes and less government.

More taxes = more poverty, plain and simple.

However, I would not at all call Bush a conservative. The largest deficit in history for one thing. Saving the world from Saadam another... a very noble goal and saved millions of Iragis long term, but usually American liberals preach saving the world, conservatives are usually accused of coddling brutal dictators as long as we can get along.

On the other hand a nation as rich as the U.S. could figure out a way to provide health care, so I fall somewhere in between the liberals and conservatives on what I thing should be done, a Jesse Ventura supporter here - fiscally conservative, socially liberal, like most americans.
