Not meaning to disrespect the office just disappointed in many of his actions.
I voted twice for President Bush and was one of about 5000 along with my family at the Palm Beach board of elections protesting the recount.
I believed he would push an agenda similar to President Reagan. Instead he has spent my money on rediculous things.
Failed to push ANY sonservative social issues that put him into the office, and allowed the likes of Ted Kennedy to write policy.
President bush has also refused to use the veto for any prupose.
I can go on, just like to state my objections, As a conservative Republican

Why did you believe he would push an agenda like Reagan's? We were no longer in the Cold War (one of Reagan's big issues). President Bush planned to lower taxes (he did), pass an education bill (he did), and strengthen the military (he did). If you didn't pay attention to his proposals for the education bill, that is YOUR fault, not his.

As far as social programs, he has done more to promote a culture of life than any president, including Reagan. He signed a law against partial birth abortion, as well as instituting several socially conservative policies by executive order.

No one ever claimed that President Bush would be "just like Reagan." Bush was very up front about the policies he was going to promote.

It is fine if you don't agree with the President. However, to intimate that he misled you is not factually accurate, and to say that he has done nothing for social conservatives is patently false. By the way, other than talking, what did Reagan ever DO about any social conservative issues?
