True, but isn't that, by definition, changing the meaning of what a conservative is?

You have paleo-conservatives and neo-conservatives but both are considered conservatives.

Maybe. But isn't that why they're called neo-conservatives?

Maybe I should have worded my question: Is Bush a classic conservative? Which is really what I meant. But I wasn't specific and I should have been.

You think Clinton and Obama's ideology are of the same mold?
