Understood. In fact, as the (conservative-authored) article recently posted by Techweenie opines, Dubya is perhaps further away from true conservative principles than Kerry. Here is a quote from that brilliant conservative columnist:

"It is not at all conservative to balloon government spending, to vastly
increase the power of government, to show contempt for the Constitution
and the rule of law, or to tell people that foreign outsourcing of
American jobs is good for them, that giant fiscal and trade deficits
don't matter, and that people should not know what their government is
doing. Bush is the most prone-to-classify, the most secretive president
in the 20th century. His administration leans dangerously toward the
authoritarian."
