I wish we had a conservative in the White House, but that ain't going to happen. I'd be happy with a Reagan Republican in the White House, one who believed in fiscal responsiblity and a smaller and less intrusive government, but that ain't gonna happen either. Cuz da SOUTH is in charge now.
I would say George Bush is just as conservative as Reagan.
He is trying to fight a WAR.............
Sadly true, but when options are limited, a s**t sandwich is better than a bullet to the head. I don't think that Bush's tendencies for give-aways can be blamed on the South, nor do I think they can be blamed on the war. Handouts appeal to urban voters, to rural voters, to white voters, to black voters, to all voters, and that's what it takes to get into office. It seems like a second-term president really has the option to can it all and risk impeachment in pursuit of a truly conservative agenda though.
But it's not gonna happen.
