Bush and Cheney were much more progressives than conservatives.
- dragonwriter 10y ago> Bush and Cheney were much more progressives than conservatives. No, they weren't. They were authoritarian conservatives. (In the US, there's often a confusion between "conservative" and "libertarian", and if you confuse those and assume anything that isn't libertarian must be progressive, I can see how you'd make that mistake, but Bush/Cheney is about as far from progressive as you can get.)
- snaky 10y ago> Conservatives were dismayed as he proposed a traditional Keynesian stimulus which Democrats lauded. Above all, he made one of the most dramatic federal interventions in American history by his aid to the financial system > Conservatives and libertarians have criticized Bush for greatly increased domestic spending, creating a new entitlement program for prescription drugs, failing to veto a single bill, and expanding both the size and scope of government http://www.conservapedia.com/George_W._Bush http://www.conservapedia.com/George_W._Bush
