George Bush is a radical Marxist in the arena of fiscal policy. The offical OMB Budget tables prove that point.
George Bush is a moderate on international affairs. It is a shame he will not get out of the UN, that he abandons Taiwan while pushing for a Palestinaian state, and he, of course, refuses to guard our borders.
Actually, let's take that back--George Bush is NOT a moderate but leans heavily left on international affairs/national security.
Don't anybody here attempt to slot George Bush in the "conservative" category.
Tax-cutter, Pro-Life, expand the military, free-trade, amnesty for illegals, huge budget deficits. Sounds like Reagan. Of course Prez Reagan, a life long rat, twice president of his union, fan of FDR never really called himself a conservative anyways. The media always did that to scare moderate and liberal voters. Conservatives like Buckley hated Reagan when he was in office...he was too cozy with Gorbachev.
Who in their right mind would? I find it humorous the NRO provides Kirk's definition for conservatism and yet I haven't seen any of those supported in the pages of the NRO for more than a few years. The NRO is basically run now by hawkish social and fiscal liberals
