It will probably be more conservative . . . at least economically.
Hell, if a Democrat is elected, (s)he'll be more conservative economically than Bush.
Exactly. Without going back to the 1800's I can't think of a more fiscally irresponsible liberal than George W.
Bush gets the blame for not vetoing some of the bills, but the Congress deserves more of the blame for porking up spending bills, especially bills designed for funding the military/wars. (When discussing "fiscal irresponsibility" you need to take the wars into account.)
