Baby Bush said he was Socially Conservative, but I have seem him idle on most Social Issues, except Iraq.
He did get 2 conservative justices on the Supreme Court. And I believe his ONLY veto in the first term was on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research (I could be wrong). And how is Iraq a social issue?
I think he's been a pretty consistent social conservative. That's about the only thing he has been consistent on.
True, but I think he only did those things not to lose election and stay cool with the South. The recent 2008 election shows a Social Moderate with Fiscal Conservatism loses if they are Republican.
The only thing 2008 shows is that John McCain can't win if he is John McCain. Lol, don't try to make some sort of broad, far-reaching conclusions based on a single guy's defeat.
