"If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain." There is no record of anyone hearing Churchill say this. Paul Addison of Edinburgh University makes this comment: "Surely Churchill can't have used the words attributed to him. He'd been a Conservative at 15 and a Liberal at 35! And would he have talked so disrespectfully of Clemmie, who is generally thought to have been a lifelong Liberal?" On the other hand, he became a Conservative at 48! So maybe the sentiment is correct, though the "ages of reason" are incorrect.

Was George W. Bush Moderate or Conservative or Liberal?

Bush was clearly a moderat LIBERAL. He would probably be considered a traditional liberal, because of his disatrous ultra-liberal economic policies, and his Neo-con stance on foreign policy, which is traditionally farily liberal. However, he was fairly right on social issues and so he would probably be fairly described as a Moderate Liberal who chose the wrong party, similar to John McCain


Was Ronald Reagan a conservative or a liberal?

Reagan was conservative in the sense that he kept his old liberalism. He admired Franklin Roosevelt and wanted the government to provide relief to people who truly needed help. He was in favor of jobs programs. As he put it, he did not leave the Democratic Party-- they left him. BY the time he became President his philosophy of government was conservative. However, he was pragmatic with his conservatism and willing to compromise when needed. He was more conservative before he became President. As president, I would call him a pragmatist . He was willing to make concessions to get legislation passed and his "Reaganomics" economic theory was not at all conservative.
