But please indicate the "very important, very significant ways" you see President Bush governing to the right. (We are agreed on tax cuts, PBA and the war so please don't rehash these). I don't see it. I see occasional rhetoric to the right and significant policy moves to the left.
We are likely to see the high water mark of Republican control of the Federal Government in the next year or two. As it stands now, domestically the country will end up worse for it in absolute terms.
Please don't throw me the canard "that it would have been worse under the Democrats." By that logic the Republicans can never fail. Not even if they gut the First Amendment, enact massive expansions of the welfare state, open the borders, put milk-toast judges on the bench (or worse), institutionalize 1/2 trillion dollar annual deficits, etc.
If you agree that he sometimes governs to the right - and you indicate here that you do - all I ask is that you stop making declaritive statements like "He governs like a liberal." Or saying that aside from the war, the rest of his agenda "sucks".
I don't want to nitpick about every little thing. I am just asking you not to make general, sweeping, and completely inaccurate statements. Of course, if you are determined to, I can't stop you.
