But Phillips is no left-wing demagogue.

Yeah right /sarcasm

Bush is a big spender who either has dropped many of his conservative principles or never had them to begin with. That's a legitimate criticism of GWB.

But whatever his background may be, what this guy says is nothing but extreme left wing conspiracy boilerplate, with not even a hint of legitimacy.

This Kevin Phillips?

President Bush simply has never been a idealoge. He wasn't in Texas, and wasn't in the 2000 campaign. He rarely even speaks in political terms, never insults a Dem/Lib, never engages in the same invective that he recieves.

Very unlike Clinton, who openly accused Newt of being racist, a bigot, starving children and old people, on a daily basis.

In fact, Bush takes such huge political risks for the things he does believe in, ie, taxes, war, kyoto, international court, ABM treaty, pro-life judges, UN defiance, faith-based charities, that I don't think he would mind going back to Crawford.

Which is why I like him.
