^ Harry Truman was very close to being considered a Conservative

:hilarious:

A conservative who loved high taxes, national healthcare, supported the New Deal, started massive housing programs, civil rights, price controls, higher minimum wages, massive expansion of social security... etc. Never heard of the 'Fair Deal'? It was all the components of the New Deal, only larger. This all culminated with him seizing the entire US Steel industry, to be administered and oversaw by the government. He literally makes Obama look like a moderate. And the kicker, This was all during his few years as president. It speaks nothing about his time as VP, and in the Senate... where's he was by most accounts, more liberal.

don't confuse his willingness to use military against communism, or having the balls to drop the a-bomb....... as being a conservative. Remember, FDR would have no doubt did the same, and surely would have dropped the same bomb.
