Well said. The simple fact is, conservatives are NOT the majority in power right now. Bush was always more moderate than conservative, and the Senate is presently controlled by a moderate Republican and liberal/moderate Democrap coalition.
Before I get flamed for calling Bush a moderate, just remember he's always said he's a uniter, not a divider. You don't unite the Demorats and Republicans by sitting on the right, you unite them by riding the middle. That's what Bush has done and is doing on several (not all) issues, and he's been quite open about it all along.

The House is more conservative than the Senate. But on each issue, the equation has three parts: President, Senate and House.
Things have gone as things have gone. Not everybody is pleased all of the time.
I assure thoughtful people that things will NOT be better with any one of the three sides turned over to the opposition party's control.
Think committee chairmanships. Judicial appointments, national defense, tax legislation are three areas that have gone WELL due to Republican control.
