WHEN IS THE PRESIDENT AND OTHER POLITICIANS GOING TO REALLY DO SOMETHING TO PROTECT AMERICANS AS THEY SWORE TO INSTEAD OF OUTSOURCING EVERY DAMM THING TO FOREIGNERS???
Mr. tank, you need to add ...000 to that number.
$9,000,000,000,000, soon to be $10,000,000,000,000.
Thank you, math degree.

Thanks for the article. I'm looking forward to reading the book. It seems to pretty much mirror my own views on the Bush presidency.
Reagan never had a "9/11".
The national debt under Reagan nearly trippled. Under Reagan federal spending doubled.
The national debt when Bush took office was 5.7 trillion. Under bush the national debt has not even doubled... let alone nearly trippled as it did under Reagan.
The Reagan apologists used to say that Reagan was going to spend all the money so there would be nothing left for the Democrats to spend when they got in power.
Reagan blamed the spending on Democrats ... but he did not veto their spending bills. He just signed them... late at night.....under cover of darkness.
Conservative as a three peso bill.
"The administration and its supporters routinely denounce critics as partisans and even traitors. Indeed, the White House defenestrates anyone who acknowledges that reality sometimes conflicts with official fantasies."

All you need to read to know this guy is a lying SOS.
THere were six conservatives vying for the GOP nomination in 2000. George W. Bush was not one of them. He's what we got when the small pollers faded out, the big money came in and everyone got scared of McCain. Too many conservatives in the mix, most of them longshots with no real chance who only wanted to get their message out, but would up diluting the message of others who might've had a shot.
Even the editors of The National Review know that if a politician espoused every one of their views, he'd get about 18% of the vote in a McGovern style blowout.
VOTE REPUBLICAN. Only because it's better than the alternative.
[Bush believes in none of these things. His conservatism, such as it is, is cultural rather than political. Writes Bartlett, “Philosophically, he has more in common with liberals, who see no limits to state power as long as it is used to advance what they think is right.”]
Right. Our President is a fool liberal who doesn't have the good sense he was born with. What they think is right is one world government and Bush is a supporter like his father, unfortunately.
Hundreds of thousands take to the streets to defy America's right to defend its own borders, and Bush worries that we conservatives are being "uncivil" which I take as code language that he's calling his own constituency racist.
He's scheduled yet another honeymoon with Vicente in Cancun--
I know one honeymoon that is definitely over.
The illegal aliens and the criminals who hire them and the criminals who harbor them are getting out in the street making their desires known. It is way past time those of us who support the rule of law and secure borders did the same.
Join Veterans for Secure Borders, The Minuteman Project, Latino Americans for Immigration Reform, Mothers Against Illegal Aliens, and other groups protesting amnesty for these criminals, and demanding the government protect our borders.

BOING!
One of the things being lost in this thread is that Reagan was supposed to start a revolution...not finish it. He obviously didn't do enough. But he was supposed to be the beginning. Unquestionably he advanced the ball; others needed to pick up after him.
That is what never happened.
The only articulate arguments I see here are: Reagan wasn't really a conservative, so don't get mad at GWB. This doesn't make sense to me. T
he other argument is that the war on terror required GWB to spend too much. That doesn't make sense, either, since the war on terror didn't require the prescription drugs bill and open borders.
Moreover, FDR won a war. Does that make him a conservative?
