However, I defy you to name a single socially-conservative thing of any importance that Bush has done in five years

Signed the partial birth abortion ban, for one. Signed the Fetal Protection Act (that's not the name of the bill, which I forget).

You need to keep up.

Signed the partial birth abortion ban, for one. Signed the Fetal Protection Act (that's not the name of the bill, which I forget).

Both have had miniscule effect. I said significant. Furthermore, and you can correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think either one was his initiative. All he can take credit for is not vetoing it.

Moreover, how can you dismiss the fact that a Democrat President would have been a disaster on your coveted social issues?

I do not in the least dismiss it. All that says, though, is that Bush is a lesser problem, not a solution. Think about this: Bush has proposed his share of socialist programs. A Democrat would have met with opposition from Republicans in the legislature, but those self-same Republicans do very little to oppose Bush's programs.
