"Education is a major plank of his platform. Got a problem with a president who follows through with his campaign promises? "

When it involves a 48% increase in the Dept of Education spending with NO REAL PROGRESS ON EDUCATION VOUCHERS - why, yes I do!!!

It is not much different from a DLC/Clinton-lite policy.

I'm not suggesting dont vote Bush - see the tagline - but lets get real, his domestic policies are *not* Conservative!

Ok. I agree with you about some of his domestic policies, since things like CFR and the education bill are pretty obvious. But he's also conservative on a lot of issues, like his partial birth abortion ban, his support for heterosexual-only marriage, etc. Now I'll admit, he's much less conservative than I wish on domestic spending. He needs a new veto pen. Bush seems to believe that the congress should run domestic spending policies, so he'll basically sign anything. Mostly, I blame our own Republican-run congress for this. Bill Frist comes to mind.
