You can listen to what he says if you like. I'll pay attention to what he does.

You mean like tax cuts, partial birth abortion ban, testing in the schools, revitalization of the military, reasonable application of environmental laws, active defense of the nation and telling the UN to "go to"?

I'll agree with you list save one exception. When did federally mandated (largely unfunded, at that) testing in schools become a conservative issue?

There are some problems with your list. The partial birth abortion ban succeeded in outlawing this one procedure (for now at least) but doctors are free to switch to other late-term abortion methods. The bill was smoke and mirrors. Essentially, nothing was accomplished.

Testing in the school has created a HUGE mandated new bureaucracy that has to be paid for either with federal or local tax dollars. Did you think those tests and the people needed to compile info just popped out of the ground free? Our local school system is spending tons of money trying to comply with education mandates and so far sees no positive return.

He told the UN where to go for a little while but is now starting to crawl back to them and to countries that didn't support us because he fears if he doesn't get some help, he could lose the election on this issue. What a man.
