That "atrocious record" includes putting more agents on the border and toughening identification standards. His record is better than any President since Ike, and unlike Reagan he has yet to amnesty one illegal.
I was putting my opposition to Bush's policies in perspective, by highlighting my far greater opposition to the Left
The words adamantly opposed to just about everything Bush, Ashcroft, & Co. have been doing to the Constitution show your atagonism to the GOP. If you hate rats just as much, this just solidify my implication that you have been a 3rd party supporter all along.
The new agents on the border came from Congress, over his repeated opposition. He then would submit budgets to Congress that don't provide for the agents that they themselves authorized, forcing Congress to have to up the level back to where it needed to be. Don't even try to tell me that he's pushed for good border security.
you have been a 3rd party supporter all along.
What of it? Still doesn't change the fact that a lot more conservatives have started to see things my way than they did in 2002.
