No one is looking for 100%. I am not either. The problem is he believes in big govt and thinks that govt ought to be a big portion of daily life. That is about 50% disagreement right there. Throw in the strong dollar policy, amnesty, CFR and Sarbanes-Oaxley, and you have much more disagreements unless you believe in the paternalistic nanny state as well.

One is issue is about 50% which leaves one other. And how is BUsh pro-big government and pro-big part of daily life? Because he signed a budget with increased spending? And daily life? How?

strong dollar policy

Where? It's a common boogeyman of the manufacturing industry even though analysts are attributing it not to policy but to price adjustments, wondering if they are growth adjustments, and an increase in foreign transfer of investments back to the dollar. But economists argue opinion and NRO has a good one by Kudlow on the weakening of the inflation hawks arguement. Essentially, pulling out of a bad recession bodes well for Bush's economic and monetary policies.

amnesty

A straw man. Plenty of threads on that around here. Penalties somehow equal amnesty.

CFR

A big, big, big mistake by Bush. He fell flat there.

Sarbanes-Oaxley

How does a law that requires CEOs to attest that their financial reports are accurate not conservative. That act makes lying in published financial reports an act of fraud. Considering the amount of regulation that the DEms were getting ready to hurl at corporations, it was a good way to stop the danger.
