Untrue. He ran on a platform of free drugs for seniors, and modifying 'conservative' with the word 'compassionate' is hardly compatible with being "unabashedly conservative."

Were you born yesterday? He ran on cutting taxes, privatizing Social Security, school vouchers, and against Affirmative Action. All this came up in the debates.

He *did* run on cutting taxes, and to some extent on school choice (too bad we haven't seen any progress there, huh?). He said he supported "affirmative access", whatever that is, and he never proposed privatizing more than a small fraction of Social Security.

AND he also ran on free drugs for old people, expanded spending & federalized control of education, increased unconstitutional charitable spending, etc.

Okay, so dont have privatized Social Security but we do have a huge newdrug entitlement;
we dont have school vouchers but we have "NO Child Left Behind", a huge Federal mandate that our state GOP school official points out is *unconstitutional* ("Please tell me where in the constitution is says Congress can tell states how to run education?").
We dont have an end to affirmative action, we have SCOTUS upholding it for U of Michigan with Bush white house agreeing to that.


We had a promise of Thomas/Scalia-type picks and now the reality of ... Roberts (good) ... and Miers.


Dont you see why some of us are concerned?!?
