It's amazing people believed that the Bushes were conservative.

Seriously, George W. Bush and his father come from a New England Rockefeller Republican family. Why did people buy the crap that he was a small-government conservative?

Are Americans really that oblivious to the truth?

I'll believe your governor is a robot from the future before I believe anyone with the last name Bush is a consevative.

Sorry,

I don't know of many conservatives that believe GW was a conservative. I'm curious who is suggesting that? The only people I have ever found that believe such a thing are democrats - which by the way is so terribly ironic. GW was arguably the most friendly president to the democratic party since.................Carter.

Now relative to what we have seen the last 9 months? That's a different story.

[messana]

Running on the republican platform probably gave them that idea.

Don't forget people's willingness to believe what the MSM tells them.

They key word is believed...many, many Republican voters, especially conservative ones, defended Bush until it was undeniable that he wasn't a true conservative.

They still defend him. I sat through Republican meetings listening to necons and even so called Ron Paul supporters justify everything he did. They haven't disowned him yet.

[paulitics]

They believe W was conservative because he talks folksy and lives on a ranch in Texas.

I believed George Senior was a conservative ...of course I was a dumbass teenager back then and didn't know my ass from a hole in the ground...
