True Conservatives voting for Bush?

How can true conservatives vote for Bush and the neoconservatives after the way the government has expanded over the last term?

Ignorance is bliss?

Bandwaggoning?

They probably just think he's better than Kerry, honestly.

many true conservatives don't support Bush......Pat Buchanan just wrote a book called "how the right went wrong"

Well, I don't identify fully with any of these camps, but I think that many so-called "true conservatives" are actually libertarians. Conservatives have traditionally supported strong coercive (military and police) functions of government, while rejecting its regulatory intervention in the economy. Liberals tend to favor the reverse, and libertarians reject both.

true conservative + voting for any party = oxymoron

Exactly.

But, unfortunately, there are few TRUE conservatives left in this country. Many people in this country are so STUPID and uninformed that they believe Bush is a true conservative. He isn't. He's far from it.

Bush and his cronies are cold-blooded, nazi-loving, imperialistic, hatemongering, warmongering, neocon criminals, who are doing everything they can to make this an Orwellian society and completely rape us of our constitutional rights, in the name of "security".

True conservatives do not believe in pre-emptive wars -- they believe in defensive measures instead of offensive ones. They also do not believe in the destruction of the Constitution and civil liberties, as they are some of the biggest defenders of the Constitution and civil liberties. They also do not believe in corporate welfare like the neocons do.

The two are like night and day.

True conservatism means LESS GOVERNMENT, which is the exact opposite of what is happening under the reign of the neocons who are using 9/11 to their benefit, to instill fear into people, which in turn makes people more accepting of a larger, more militarized government, which is all part of this global government we are gradually beginning to see.

Rat, I don't think I could have said that any better myself. Beautiful.

you are all confused, trapped, and dying.

explain.

Party Affiliation, Simple as that. People know that Kerry will expand the governemnet too, so they are just as well off with Bush as Kerry. Also they get to keep someone with the republican label on them.
