Greenwald has a nice post here, describing the hillariously predictable moment of "true conservatives" running, screaming, away from George Bush.
I've been saying what Greenwald does for ages. The "conservatives" are what they are - and not some pipe dream of a bastard child of Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater. Conservatives are big government, religious freaks - because that is what they stand for. It's intellectually dishonest for them to run from it now, just because they lost an election, and claim that Bush isn't a true conservative.
Conservatism is what Bush says it is. The alternative, of course, is progressive politics.
