In the 2000 Prez race, Bush proposed a $158-billion increase to Medicare over 10 years, with $12-billion per year over 4 years to help the eldery poor out with prescription drugs. What did we get? Bush created the largest entitlement program since LBJ created Medicare in 1965. A trillion dollar drug entitlement program that is nothing but cradle to grave liberal socialism.
In 2000 Bush proposed improving national educational standards and creating a voucher system. With the new 2007 budget just released, federal Education spending under Bush has gone up 86% since he took office.
Lets not forget the three huge discretionary spending bills Bush signed into law. A transportation bill containing over 6,000 pork barrel earmarks, and a huge energy bill and farm bill.
Bush and the GOP COngress are big government Republicans, not fiscal conservatives.
If the President and the GOP Congress somehow get their way and install a backdoor amnesty program under the guise of a guest worker program, the GOP will lose many conservative voters for both 2006 and 2008.

And, then increase the number of Democrats by 20 - 100 million (no one really knows the final number) at the same time! All border states will be solid Democrat. Good show Bush! /s/
