On court appointees which live on long after a President is gone and abortion there's a big difference, to name just a couple of things. And why does foreign policy/defense not matter all of a sudden?Okay, good points. However, we are being destroyed from within by elitists on both sides. Bush let Kennedy write the Education bill. Where's the conservative leadership in that?
With both houses of Congress and the White House you would think that we would be celbrating triumph after triumph. How do you explain the way Bush has caved and capitulated on almost every other issue.

(My 1.4 cents - It used to be 2 cents, but after taxes - you get the idea.)

The ed bill was passed when Daschle and company were still controlling the Senate. I don't find much to like in it. However, it was either that bill or literally nothing. Bush chose that bill. Being strong on education was one of Bush's main themes in 2000. It was one of his ways of wooing the soccer moms. I think it was a straight political calculation. Even Reagan did some things that upset conservatives, like his tax increase in 1982 during a recession. He believed Tip O'Neill's promise to cut spending for $2 for each $1 tax increase, which was a lie. He also signed an illegal alien amnesty bill.
