well, except that Nixon wasn't very conservative.
And there are a lot of people who think Bush II isn't conservative either.
To a degree this depends on how you define "conservative." If you define it by reference to whether it comports with leftish views, then yes, Bush II is conservative - but that's an oppositional definition. If you define it as Burkean in mindset, then no, he's not any kind of conservative. And he is certainly no libertarian.
