Don't confuse the republican party with true conservatism. In many ways they are not.
Classic example of conservative philosophy is to privatize the profits and socialize the losses? How do you draw this correlation? Where do you get this stuff? Give me an example of where this is written or espoused as a "Conservative Policy". Just because George Bush did it, doesn't make it a conservative policy. You have to put aside the politics and stop bringing up the Bush admininstation. In about 4 more months Obama and the liberal politicians regardless of their party will own this problem and I plan to call everyone of them out on it regardless of their party.

Maybe you could enlighten me on when/where conservatisim/free market is creating this utopia? If Bush wasn't the guy to bring your politcal philosophy to light, who is? Whom should I have voted for to get the "True Conservative"? Where is Conservatisim flourishing? I would assume such a great system would be everywhere.
The condition of our Country is indeed the result of Free Market Capitalism, this is what free market ideas have wrought. Eight years of tax cuts for the wealthist Americans, the investor class. Where are all the jobs those tax cuts were suppose to create? China, Mexico, South America. How about the free market solution to the healthcare crisis? Nearly 50 million uninsured Americans and growing. The only thing that has gotten bigger in the past eight years besides the number of unemployed/uninsured is our National Debt. And think about that National Debt for a minute, your guy doubled it in eight years. It took forty two presidents to accomplish what Bush did all by himself.
You claim the Military is the only successful government program, I would like to know what your criteria was when making that statement? When you say military, that is the DOD (department of defense), I challenge you to goggle DOD fraud, waste, and abuse, then come on back here and tell me what you were thinking when you wrote that.
No offense, but it seems like you just parrot MSM talking points. I don't see any substance to your point of view and its sad that you are trying to rewrite history concerning the bush administration. That was your guy, the compassionate conservative.
