Bush never claimed to be Reagan in the first place. How can he move away from a title he never applied to himself?

Well, at least we have a conservative Constitutional scholar Supreme Court nominee!

Bartlett is a credible writer, IMO.

No, his Presidential commission on tax fairness will take care of the tax raising ideas for him. He needs the money to pay for his spending.

Bartlett faults Bush for moving away from free trade, adopting Keynesian economic theories, increasing government regulation and doing an extremely poor job of developing and selling conservative initiatives, such as Social Security reform

LOL! CAFTA is anti-free trade and what did Reagan do, he raised social security taxes and didn't propose any reform. BTW Reagan also granted real amnesty to illegals.

With "friends" like Bartlett, who needs enemies?

Unlike Ronald Reagan, who raised them one year after lowering them.

I wish I could say Bartlett was wrong. But I expect more of this as conservatives start to take a more realistic look at how they've been had.

A compassionate conservative, yes. This implies a difference between him and a conservative such as Reagan.

Bush was pretty open about who he is and what he wanted to do, during his 2000 campaign. He continued being honest in the 2004 campaign. People who thought Bush was another Reagan didn't pay attention.

Hope you're wearing asbestos underwear. The bushbots are already in full Captain Queeg mode over all the conservatives "jumping the shark" on the Miers nomination.

Bush will raise your taxes and you will still defend him.
