Just as I suspected...

The more I've been reading about conservatives and reading the stuff from the conservative think tanks, the more I've been wondering why the hell they would support President Bush anyway. Then here's this article in the Times today about about it:

"At this point, I think that conservatives sold out their small government philosophy and replaced it with a philosophy of whatever will get them re-elected," said Brian M. Riedl, a budget analyst at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative research organization. "Neither party is committed to smaller government and less spending. Those who are still standing for fiscal conservatism are frustrated."
