Conservatives do not equal Republicans. Every true conservative I know does not agree with 95% of what Bush and Co. did during their romp. The molestation of executive powers, nation building, enlargement of government, unlawful detainment without due process, bailout 08, and wiretapping are all anti conservative corner stones. The Republicans who justified it to themselves that these kinds of practices are 'okay' are idiots. Just the same as liberals who now somehow justify the further fucking up of this country based on some idiotic idea that 'X is okay now since Republicans were okay with Y.' Thin, weak and misguided. If you just want to be okay with setting the bar near where Bushie set it, then we're all in for a wild ride.
Might I also add that you might want to look at voting records before you go off half cocked saying that republicans rubber stamped anything he wanted ... your lily white Democrats were rubber stamping Bush more often then you might feel comfortable with. Wiretapping got extended with the help of Dems, Iraq war was also approved with the help of Dems, Bailout 08 was majorly supported by Dems. etc etc etc.
