He might be conservative, but he is A HELL OF A LOT MORE COMPASSIONATE, than conservative. If a Dem spent money like he did you would be SCREEEEEEEEMING.

"If a Dem spent money like he did you would be SCREEEEEEEEMING."


total agreement. Many Repubs on this site fail/refuse to hold Bush to the ideals we held Clinton to. Ideals that he obviously failed to uphold.

But, in terms of spending like a Dem, Bush has already outspent Clinton domestically....and in only 3 years. One shudders to think of how much more he'll spend without considering a veto in the next 5 years. That is, if one allows themselves to critically examine the President's policies, rather than blindly following or ignoring all facts that indicate he's no conservative.

That's because in addition to their spending, we include everything else we don't like about them....their whole socialist agenda.

So, by your definition, Clinton was a conservative and Reagan was a liberal.

Clinton had the lowest spending percentage as it related to the GDP, and Reagan the highest, with GWB coming in at the second lowest.

What do you have against compassion. I suppose you favor "cold comfort."
