GWB tries an amnesty , well that's just the compassionate conservative thing to do but that's in his opinion , certainly wasn't my opinon . Different with a private person as their actions can't hurt the USA or ME Ann . Anyway , that's my reasoning . And 'jebito' is worse , he views illegal aliens as doing an act of LOVE and he calls himself a conservative . He is crazy and certainly not a Conservative !!
Any kind of modifier used with Conservative is a red flag.
Bush's Compassionate Conservative meant Medicare D, amnesty and huge farm subsidies.
Palin's Common-sense Conservatism meant support for TARP and Obama's stimulus money and endorsements for McCain running for Senate.
If a person is a conservative, the word stands alone.
