i think bush is fantastic and has done a fantastic job.
I wish there were more members of congress who actually supported him,
I also wish there were more people on Free Republic who supported him.
I am less and less surprised that conservatives are so willing to turn on their own for the slightest slights. I guess that probably contributes to a long term strength of the party but I do think there are numerous short term disasters as a result.
To pretend that these incessant observations less than 30 days before an election are not misguided would be a mistake in my estimation.
He's kicked ass in Afghanistan, done really well in Iraq, waffled on Iran, and fumbled on NK.
He sucks on border enforcement and appears to be a globalist.
He did great on Bolton to the UN, but I really don't understand what happened to Condi Rice.
The tax cuts were A+++, as (it appears so far) his two Supreme Court Nominees. If he can manage to appoint one or two more of their type, they will help shape his true legacy.
(Always provided there are no suitcase nukes and no overt war with China...)
The things he's good on, he's great on. But there are other things where it looks like he is taking conservatives for granted; or even using them cynically.
Cheers!
