I'm also curious to know in what manner John Kerry is more conservative than George Bush.
Er, yes... can someone explain that?
Bush was a Social conservative, fiscaly stupid and was a forign policy liberal. Kerry was a Forign policy conservative and liberal on the other counts.
so I would agree 2004 as far as forign policy and spending goes.
What?
I believe he's trying to tie in John Kerry to the traditional isolationist bent of American conservatism, which has, of course, been virtually ignored since the Reagan Reaction.
There's no such thing as a "liberal" or a "conservative" foriegn policy anyway in my opinion. It's either interventionist, non-interventionist, or pragmatic. By his logic, Hippies are conservative.
Yes it's precisely that polarization in U.S. politics.....you're either a conservative or a liberal.....or a Democrat or a Republican....that I find unattractive.
You can't turn everything into a battle of this vs. that, or right vs. wrong as many try to do.
