Bush did not vote for CFR. Were you just as surprised when during the election he talked about education and reform? Were you not expecting him to follow thru?

So you want to just walk away and let the democrats win? Don't believe you are a conservative. I am not sure what you are but if you were a conservative you would be applauding Bush for the defense, war on terrorism, banning of partial birth abortion, opposing affirmative action. Sir, that is what core conservative views are. \

As for the growth of government--tell me in what ways did it grow?

Patriot act was a must during times of war. CFR was wrong, Illegal immigration--someone needs to address this problem--Bush has opend the discussion--now time to address this problem. Medicare, social security reform are a must as well. Time to clean up and modernize--

Huh? Bush signed Campaign Finance Reform into law.

Of course I was expecting him to follow through. But I expected him to be bright enough to know that the downturn in education began when the federal government got its grubby hands into it. I expected him to reduce or eliminate central control of education, which is the pro-conservative, anti-marxist position.

>>I am not sure what you are but if you were a conservative you would be applauding Bush for the defense, war on terrorism, banning of partial birth abortion, opposing affirmative action. Sir, that is what core conservative views are.

Since when? Core conservative values include those, but those are not the most important. The most important, in general, is limited government, without which we have none of the others (eventually).

>> As for the growth of government--tell me in what ways did it grow?

Huh? You are kidding, right?

>> Patriot act was a must during times of war.

I have no problem with the Patriot Act during times of war.

>> Illegal immigration--someone needs to address this problem--Bush has opend the discussion--now time to address this problem.

Nonsense? Bush has failed to enforce current law, and instead has compounded the immigration problem.

>> Medicare, social security reform are a must as well.

Reform? Bush has created another massive new entitlement that will only make seniors more and more dependent on the labors of the younger generation. Instead of looking seniors in the eyes and telling them their COVETOUS ways are disgraceful and threaten the financial security of our nation, he kisses their butts. Bush claims to be a Christian, but he loves to suck up to the COVETOUS. Paul said, "... for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children." And that was the case throughout history, until recently. Modern socialists, like Bush, has turned that upside down.
