Some day so called conservatives will stop eating their young. No one is conservative enough. I think many are really libertarians who will never be satisfied, no matter what, since they can see little through the smoke.

Reagan, who we all worship, grew gov faster and larger than Bush. He did it on purpose, to get what he wanted done since he did not have congress. Bush had the same problem all through his first term.

Look at the difference between Bush's ability to shift congress to pubs and Reagan's. Look at the social legislation passed. Look at the shift in the judiciary. Bush has staying power in the war on terror. Reagan cut and ran in Lebanon. Bush has reduced the size of the debt during his term in spite of the war and gas prices. When history gives its true verdict, he will be honored as a decent, steadfast, President in the same hall as Reagan, Lincoln and the rest of the great ones.

Occasionally people here on FR sound like they should be at du: continually in bitch mode because the sand in the box is not arranged just the way they want it, so they won't play. Be happy you have a box to play in. Think Clinton when the dems made it a kitty litter box and we could only watch while they fouled it.

FYI - that's not an accurate statement. Source

You are kidding right? Lincoln?

GWB, if he continues as he has, will go down as mediocre at best.

His impeachment is one terrorist attack from someone who walked over the souther border away. This issue will dwarf all else in the next year or two. If he continues to play dead on it, he will go down in flames from both parties.

Look at the social legislation passed.

More BIG GOVERNMENT. The fact that the Pubbies had the political ability to pass it proves that they COULD cut government... if they had the slightest intention of doing so.

I have only one word for your post, KeyWest. AMEN!

Southack, can you post your incredibly long list of the President's conservative accomplishments in 4+ years in office?

This is clearly a case of saying there is no forest, while analyzing the bark of the trees......
