Left out the fact that he wants to put 30 million illegals on public hand outs and then bring in all their families. Tight fisted on aide to the poor, bullshit, only if you were actually born in this country of American citizens, then you need to pay your own bills.

I cannot disagree with the observation that George Bush has been a big-government conservative (if that is not a hopeless oxymoron)--in large measure, I suspect, to try to increase the GOP's client groups. (Of course, turning the GOP into a sort of Democrat-lite party is not likely to be a winning strategy, since those who prefer the policy of redistributionism will always fare better with the Democrats.)

You bring up a good point.....however, our politicians are the ones that put the spending bills in front of the President. The President may not have vetoed the bills, but it was Congress that wanted to spend the money. We need to change Congress so these bills don’t get to the Presidents desk.
