Conservatives, do you know history?

Listening to conservatives today, you'd swear that all that is needed to get on of them in the White House is for the GOP to nominate one. Rally? Name the last 2 true conservative that America elected? George W. Bush? How can a man that signed Medicare Part B, invaded 2 countries, and ballooned the government conservative? That's right, he wasn't. George H. Bush? Even more liberal than W. ever thought about being. Ronald Reagan? This is a man that raised taxes to help balance the budget rather than cut government programs . But, okay, that's one. Now name the one before him. Eisenhower? So you consider a man that started the space race and built the interstate highway system to be a conservative? Of course you don't. So keep going back. Truman, an everyday man from Missouri? Integrated the service, and temporarily nationalized industries to force companies to bargain if good faith with unions. Nope, either may knock him out, both definitely does. So we go back to Cal Coolidge. So two true conservatives in the last 84 years. And only one in the last 80. And you think that all that's needed to elect a true conservative is to nominate one? Not only do you not know history, it looks like you don't know America, either.
