TIME Magazine: Why the Old Labels Don't Stick
If you're a conservative, don't vote for Bush cuz he's acting like a liberal and this article details how. If you're a liberal, don't vote for Kerry, cuz he's acting more like a conservative. Or, he's acting like Clinton fiscally but a moderate in the tradition of Bush Sr. and Colin Powell in foreign affairs.
I have been saying for sometime now that I don't understand how any true conservatives can vote for Bush. He hasn't met a spending bill he didn't like; he's run up record deficits; "nation-building" is generally anathema to conservatives, etc. The only way Bush is conservative is on social issues. If you define conservative as one who believes they should be legislated. True conservatives, of course, don't.
