Given that Bush signed the bill Clinton or Gore could have given us no worse. What could they have done? Signed it with a bigger grin on their face?

So, how long have you been this delusional?

I agree with stljoe71. Furthermore, rundy
is posting more items to his increasingly long
list of reasons to be most disappointed with Bush:

Here they are:

1. Support for the reverse discrimination of Title IX law.
2. Submission of the silly Global Warming paper to the UN.
3. Advancement of the no-drilling-for-oil-in-Florida idea, either
   off the coast or in the Everglades.
4. Passage of the bloated Farm Bill.
5. The No-Guns-In-The-Cockpit policy.
6. Campain Finance Reform.
7. The Education Bill.
8. Food Stamps for Illegal Immigrants.
9. Unemployment Extension.
10. Not fighting for Judge Pickering.
11. Nor fighting for New Jersey and Virginia Governors.
12. Dictation to Israel a reversal of the Bush Doctrine on Terrorism.
13. Steel Tariffs.   He finally fixed this one.
14. Federalizing airport security workers.
15. Reversal of welfare reform.
16. Open medical records.
17. Failing to take on Democrats regarding all of his judicial appointments.
18. Advancing and signing the bloated Medicare Bill.
19. Failing to VETO the Campaign Finance (McCain-Feingold) Bill as he
    indicated during the campaign. Now, look at what we have!

I'll never vote Democratic, but I've got to say,
I'm not sure we are a lot better off than had Gore been
elected. A Democratic agenda is being advanced at a
stunning rate under the name of Compassionate Conservatism.
It is now clear Compassionate Conservatism is not Conservatism
at all, it is Centrist Liberalism. I have to believe that
had Gore been elected the Republicans would be fighting
rather than supporting all of the legislation that
constitutes the typical Democratic agenda. The fact that the
media report that Bush is "stealing the Democrats' issues"
(read this as "buying votes with our tax money by advancing
Liberal social programs") is evidence that the Republicans
are moving the liberal agenda ahead at the expense of true
conservative values.

What ever happened to "limited government" and getting rid of
"big government" and "supporting and defending the Constitution?"
Thus, it seems that Compassionate Conservatism has driven a
stake into the heart of True Conservatism. This makes rundy sad.

"Is there anybody out there?"
