He has advanced or attempted to advance the conservative cause on a slew of issues, like abortion, EPA reforms, expanded domestic energy drilling. The education bill was passed when the Dems controlled the Senate. It was either that or nothing. You might prefer he had chosen nothing, but he made a campaign promise to do more on education and felt he had to get something passed. I'm not crazy about a number of things he's done, but the Senate as presently constituted limits him.
In any event, his judges have been overwhelmingly conservative, which is one of a President's legacies that lives on long after he's no longer in office. That in itself is reason enough to reelect him, unless you want a Supreme Court ruling a few years from now that the constitution mandates allowing gay marriages.

Bush has taken conservative positions on very few issues and liberal positions on most of them. If a Democraat tried to do what Bush is doing, the Republican in Congress would oppose most of it. But when a Republican does it, we have to support our President.
Sorry, it doesn't wash.
